About Stockbridge Methodist Preschool and Kindergarten:
Our Mission:
We are a ministry of Stockbridge First United Methodist Church. Our Goal
at SMPK is to help children with God's guidance, to develop a love for
learning, enhance their self-esteem and to provide a loving and warm environment
that will enable them to acquire a solid educational foundation on which
they can build.
Our Statement
of Faith:
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that salvation is freely
offered to all and comes only through Jesus Christ. We believe there is
only one God who exists infinitely loving, just, and holy.
Non-Discrimination
SMPK does not discriminate on the basis of color, race, and religion,
national or ethnic origin for students. We encourage an environment where
everyone feels loved and accepted.
| We are a ministry of Stockbridge First United Methodist Church. We strive to enhance the role of the church in service to the community, and to encourage families to know that church life should be a vital part of their lives. The children’s ministry here at our church is very active, with lots of activities for children. We also offer many wonderful Sunday School classes for adults. Even if you do have a church home we would love for you to come and visit.

What
to expect at SMPK in the 10-11 School Year
Our Daily Routine begins at 9:00 am each school day. Our morning car line, starting at 8:50, eases your morning. The first week of school parents will walk their child to class. We start the car line the second week of school. At 12:00 (12:30 for kindergarten) you will walk in to meet your child at their classroom. We believe it is important for you to have face to face time with their teacher each day. We have a daily routine in each class that begins with the pledge of allegiance and a morning prayer. Each class day is structured to include circle time with calendar and songs, craft time, snack, special classes, recess, and play time in centers. It is important for your child to arrive to class on time and come consistently.
Twice a year we will have a Musical Performance where your child has an opportunity to perform a short program with their classmates. We believe it strengthens every child’s confidence to be a part of the shows. You will be amazed what a great performance our kids have! |

Our
Curriculum
The registration fee includes Curriculum, Art supplies, Miscellaneous supplies such as tissues, wet wipes and soap, a school T-shirt, daily snack and juice, and special events. Registration fees must be paid to hold your spot. Our Curriculum is a unique and challenging curriculum based on thematic units. Each month a new theme is introduced that will integrate Math, Science, Social Studies and Language skills into one unit. Some of our themes may include: Our Mighty Ocean, Community Helpers, Christmas and the Birth of Jesus, and Amazing Animals. The children will learn new concepts and academics through a variety of hands-on experiences. We encourage activities such as science experiments, graphing, cooking projects, painting, drawing, learning games, creative writing, and use of manipulatives. When blended with Bible stories, it creates a well-rounded program for your child. These experiences combined with Art, Music and Creative Movement, will give your child an environment that will encourage creativity as well as a love for school. Our Kindergarten uses a combination of thematic units and the Saxon Phonics and Math curriculum. Our Kindergarten program encourages hands on activities as well as strengthening their reading, writing and arithmetic skills. We have special events each month according to our theme. For example, during community helpers month we will bring in special visitors from the community such as a police officer, doctor, and dentist. Parents are invited to join us for some of our special events such as our Thanksgiving Feast, Pancakes with Parents, and our Christmas Party. The children love our dress up days including Hat Day, 50’s Day, Community Helpers Dress up day, and many more! At the end of the year we will have an art show displaying special pieces of your child’s art from their school year. Each year we have new and exciting things for you and your child!
