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.
Prior to becoming Director in 2019, Kathy was the assistant director since 2006 and before that she taught the 5-year-old kindergarten class for ten years. She holds a B.A. degree in Business and Early Childhood Education, and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education all from Columbia College. Prior to coming to Union, Kathy taught in Lexington-Richland School District Five and earlier served as Director of the Kindergarten at Columbia College. Kathy is married to Allen Horne and they have two grown children who are both Union graduates. In her free time Kathy likes to read and shop.
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 are proud to help develop the game plan for your child.
