Weekday Children's Ministry: 704-843-1737
Waxhaw United Methodist Church began providing weekday childcare in 1985. Our primary goal is to provide a healthy, safe, and educational environment for young children. The current program is full-day, 5-star licensed program for children ages 6 weeks to kindergarten. We are a small and personable school with only 37 children. We currently have openings in all age groups. Our daily operation hours are 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The school uses "The Creative Curriculum" as the basis for Lesson Planning and Child Observations and Assessments". Lesson Plans, learning activities, and environments are presented in a thematic approach. We believe children learn skills best when they are presented in a context of interest to them and with a ‘hands on’ approach. Children leave our program very prepared for kindergarten.
Additionally, we provide plenty of time for outside play and exploration. We provide a healthy nutritional program, serving lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole wheat breads, brown rice and pasta.
There are numerous opportunities for family involvement through volunteering to be a Room Parent, assisting with odd jobs throughout the year, Thanksgiving Feast, Christmas program and fellowship festivities, Graduation Ceremony, and work days.
We have an open door policy. Parents are always welcome and visitors may come at any time, but it is most informative for new parents to visit in the mornings between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to experience the major learning part of the day. For further information or any questions, please call
