PURPOSE

In response to the needs of the Varina community, Laurel Hill United Methodist Church has committed its resources and talents to children's weekday Outreach programs.  These programs are an active part of the life and ministry of Laurel Hill UMC.  We accept the opportunity through our morning Preschool and After School child care to share our values of love, caring, cooperation and forgiveness.  The church child care programs work together to enhance the spiritual, mental and physical growth of children in our community.

Anyone interested in more information regarding the Preschool, After School or Summer Weekday Programs, please contact the church office at 795-2772.  The church office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  Necessary forms are listed above for your convenience.

OBJECTIVES

                   Preschool: To help stimulate the children's curiosity, creativity and desire to learn.

                   After School: To provide a safe, secure place for children to work and play.

ACTIVITIES

Preschool:  The day is planned to help children make discoveries about themselves and the world around them.  The classroom atmosphere gives the children the opportunity to use materials in exploring, experimenting and giving creative expression to their ideas and feelings.  Playground time is scheduled each day, weather permitting.  Class field trips to local parks, businesses and other areas of interest in our community are also scheduled from time to time.

Children K-12 years have a wonderful opportunity at Laurel Hill during the Summer months. We have a structured program consisting of play, music, special craft activities, field trips and occasional all-day activities. We also do service projects such as visits to local nursing homes, make crafts and write pen pal letters to nursing home residents.

The children bring lunch two days a week and we provide lunch three days a week in addition to two snacks a day.

We also provide time twice a day for devotions, which may be acting out a play, reading the Bible or other special stories, watching a film about a Bible story, doing a puzzle, etc. The children really enjoy this opportunity.

Children ages three and four years old have an opportunity to enjoy less structured activities during the summer months.  Activities consist of play, music, craft fun, limited field trips, outdoor structured play and occasional all-day activities.  Devotions are provided twice a day.  Lunch is provided to the children as well as two snacks each day.

The cost for the Summer Program is $114 per week (all fees are included in this cost).  There is a $20.00 non- refundable registration fee.  (Note:  There are no discounts given for siblings during the Summer Program because activity fees are part of the weekly tuition.)
