Central United Methodist Church Nursery School

Love this school.
Love the teachers, love the parent involvement and love that my son loves school.

Good school. We liked it very much. But if you expect that once you are in you will continue to be there. You would be wrong. They do a lottery for enrollment each year. We got in for a 3 year old class. Didn’t get picked for the 4s… Oh well off to another school we go.

I thank God everyday that I found this school for my son! I can’t say enough good things about it. When I went to preview the school, what really sold me was the teachers. They are truly caring, great with the children, understand the student’s development and needs, humorous and silly yet structured and firm, great communicators with the children and parents, and they make everything the kids do so special. Amazing! The class is very much structured like a kindergarten classroom with centers. There are always parent volunteers, so at least 3 adults in a classroom of 16 students. It is very affordable in the world of private preschools.
My son is in Mrs. Kellie’s and Mrs. Phylis’ 3’s class twice a week. He used to attend a different preschool and when I’d ask him about his day he would hardly mutter 2 words and tell me they did nothing. There were no expectations and in a matter of 6 months he brought home maybe 3 pieces of art work. Now that he is at CMNS he cannot wait to tell me everything he did in detail. They do fun projects everyday. His cubby is packed FULL everyday I pick him up with art projects and learning materials. My son sits in a designated spot and follow directions. He understands the rules. The kids are reminded to use the potty, wash their hands, use antibacterial gel before eating and before coming into the classroom. The school sends home newsletters on everything your child is doing and keep you very informed. CMNS is very hands on and gives the kids experiences that they will never forget. My son talks about school ALL THE TIME. I love this school and so does my son. He can hardly wait to go to his class twice a week.
I have to admit, I was very hesitant to send my son to school in Stockton. I only wanted him in Lodi because I felt he was safer. Now, I feel bad that that was the one thing that held me back from finding this school sooner. CMNS comes highly recommended by me! I will definitely be sending my daughter to this school as well.
