Classes
Kid's Morning Out is a weekday ministry of Williamsburg United Methodist Church. We serve
families with children from 1 to 5 years old by providing a high quality, engaging and safe learning environment for our Kiddos while also providing a support system for caregivers. We focus on learning through play, and fostering the social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual growth of each child. Each class provides age appropriate structure and learning activities that are hands on and interactive. Kid's Morning Out uses positive classroom management and conscious discipline that begins with mutual respect, and a genuine connection with each child. The small class sizes and low student to teacher ratios allow for individual attention to each Kiddo's specific needs, creating an ideal learning environment for children at every stage of development.
We currently offer classes for children between the ages of one and four, as of September 30th. All classes will be offered for the 2023-2024 school year Monday - Friday, from 9:30am - 12:30pm. We operate September - May, and follow the Williamsburg James City County Public Schools for holidays, weather closures and delays.

Pray with us!
All classes pray as part of our daily routine to encourage children to begin a relationship with the Lord.
To begin our day, we pray: "Thank you, God, for giving us this day. Help us to be like Jesus in all we think, do, and say. Amen."
Before we eat, we pray: "Thank you for the world so sweet. Thank you for the food we eat. Thank you for the birds that sing. Thank you, God, for everything! Amen."
