Open Registration for
2024-25 School Year
We are very grateful for your interest in University Baptist Church’s Mother’s Day Out program! Positions for new students will be filled on a first come/first-served basis beginning Tuesday, January 30th at 9:00 AM. The digital form will be available below. A Non Refundable Registration Fee of $250 ($225 for second child) must accompany this application. However, your check will not be cashed until we are certain that a space is available. You can mail the registration check (check addressed to University Baptist Church, envelope addressed to University Baptist MDO and including the child's name) or drop it off during MDO hours. Application is complete when both the form and check have been received.
You will be informed by email by Thursday, February 8th, as to whether your child’s enrollment is guaranteed (at which point your check will be cashed) or whether you are on a waiting list (at which point your check will be held uncashed until enrollment). We truly wish that we could enroll each child, but we are dedicated to maintaining small student/teacher ratios in order to provide the best possible care and learning for the children. A $75 per child Curriculum Fee will be due by July 15, 2024 for 2’s,3’s, and 4’s classes. A $75 per child Resource fee will be due by the first week of school for all classes.
Mother's Day Out
University Baptist Church Mothers’ Day Out ministry is a 2, 3, or 4 days per week program, for infants through 4 year-olds with offerings based upon age of the child.
We offer a secure environment and a comprehensive curriculum based on sensory
learning and individual learning styles.
Teacher-directed instruction is combined with child-centered
exploration in learning centers such as:
Art/Music
Dramatic Play
Books/Literacy
Blocks/Construction
Writing
Manipulatives/Math
Sensory/Science
*Our older children also enjoy a weekly worship time in the sanctuary celebrating God’s gifts and presence.*
CURRICULUM
Our program uses the All Ready Curriculum, written by Mary Ann Girard, M. Ed., Executive Director of Champions for Children. Based on current brain development research, the extensive lessons offer literacy, math, science, and language experiences, while promoting critical thinking skills, problem solving, and creativity.
Teacher-directed instruction is combined with child-centered exploration in learning centers such as:
Art/Music...expressing ideas and feelings, experimenting with materials
Homeliving/Dramatic Play...practicing being part of a family and a community, imagining
Books...exploring books and language, developing a love of reading
Blocks/Construction...gaining a practical, working knowledge of mathematical concepts (size, shape, balance, area, classification, seriation, patterning, counting, measuring, estimating) and working cooperatively
Writing...experimenting with writing implements, developing fine motor skills, communicating through drawing and printing
Manipulatives/Puzzles...developing abilities to think creatively and solve problems, eye-hand coordination
Sensory/Science...using our five sense to make connections between the world in which we live and the God who made it
