The mission of the Stone Oak Cumberland Presbyterian Mother’s Day Out Program is to  provide a nurturing, loving and stimulating environment from which our children  will take with them a positive first educational experience. This is a fun-filled time of learning through exploration and play. Children participate in circle time,  learn songs, listen to stories and play simple games that allow them to acquire and hone important skills such as learning their colors and shapes. Lots of hands-on art  and sensory projects are introduced in all classrooms to engage their  creativity and fine motor skills. We even offer Spanish lessons, a valuable skill in this bi-cultural city. All children get at least 30 minutes of outdoor play in our fenced playground, weather permitting, of course. All children attend Chapel, and participate in daily prayer, listen to Bible stories and learn Christian values.

Goals in each of the classrooms include the following, and are based on age and development level:

  • Provide a nurturing, flexible and calm environment where physical affection is freely given and each child’s individual
    physical needs are met
  • Build healthy self-esteem and promote healthy emotional and social growth even as we instill a sensitivity towards others, thereby building the foundations for respecting others, as we, ourselves, model acceptable behavior
  • Encourage independence
  • Teach respect for the environment, equipment and materials
  • Encourage curiosity
  • Promote intellectual growth by providing an atmosphere where our children can discover and explore
  • Help prepare our 4-year olds for the transition to Kindergarten.

Our program is offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. We follow the NEISD calendar during the school year. Our age cut-off is the same as that of the NEISD, September 1st.

We currently have 65 children enrolled into our MDO program carefully divided by age group in 6 classrooms:

  • Elephant Room for ages 18 months to 2 years
  • Bear Room for our two-year olds
  • Lion Room for our younger three-year olds
  • Tiger Room for our older three-year olds
  • Monkey Room for our younger four-year olds
  • Zebra Room for our older four-year olds

For 2012 – 2013 the following per-child fees will apply: Registration Fee of $75.00 per FAMILY, Supply Fee of $150.00 per CHILD , with a Monthly Tuition fee of  $200.00, for which we offer a discount for families with more than one child in our program at the same time.
