Mission Statement
In partnership with the congregation of Union United Methodist Church, the community and the parents of our children, the mission of Union Day School, is to enable all children to be in a secure, caring and nurturing Christian environment. This is accomplished by providing developmentally appropriate activities, challenging instructional programs characterized by innovative teaching, active learning, and anti-bias curriculum for all God’s children.
Our Purpose
The purpose of Union Day School is to give children their first exposure to education and social development within a Christian environment; to make available to each child a wide variety of educational experiences to meet his individual needs at his own developmental level; and to socially guide the child to respect others while striving for personal excellence. In order to accomplish these goals, the essential element is an atmosphere in which to promote a strong Christian foundation on which to build a future. Union Day School is a ministry of Union United Methodist Church. We are thankful for the opportunity to extend our ministry in the area of our Day School education.
Our education philosophy is based on Learning Through Play, a hands-on experience through which every child can enter the playing field of life with a strong self-esteem, a cooperative spirit, a sense of creativity, and a joy of learning. We nurture the whole child in a relationship based Christian environment.

Union Preschool has expanded to become Union Day School! Since 1974, Union Preschool has provided an excellent part-time preschool ministry for our church and community, and will continue to do so. Union United Methodist Church has expanded to offer full-time options for children ages six weeks to two years of age, which began in August 2022. We are continuously growing our full day program and will add a 3 year old program and a 4 year old program when possible.
Union Day School has a reputation of being an outstanding preschool and kindergarten and this tradition continues with excellent staff and church support. Union Preschool now Union Day School has been named one of the “Best Private Schools” in our area.
