Before and After School Programs

Early Birds and Stay & Play

To accommodate early parent schedules, we are pleased to offer an Early Birds program that is a structured and fun-filled learning experience. Supervised by NMP teachers, toddlers – 5 year olds will enjoy a variety of activities before the official start of their school day from 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 am.

You are welcome to register your Early Bird for one or more mornings each week, but your reservation must be for the entire semester to ensure adequate staffing. Cost is $15/day.

Stay & Play is an after-school program for children currently enrolled in a three, four, or five year old NMP class. Children participate in many fun activities such as science experiments, art projects, and large group games. In addition, children will eat a snack (provided by NMP) and play outside with friends. The program runs from 12:30-1:30 pm. Carpool is in the same location as NMP carpool. All children must be completely potty trained to attend.

Cost is $15/day and registration must be completed by the Sunday prior at 5 pm. No late registrations will be accepted to ensure proper staffing and logistical safety of children.

If your child is staying after school for a 1:30 pm Sports & Rec activity, you must register below for Stay & Play and separately for Sports & Rec through their website http://sportsandrec.northsideumc.org.

Ceramics and Art with Ms. Lucy

Your child can join NMP Art Teacher, Ms. Lucy, in a small group setting in the art room to create special seasonal art and ceramics projects you will surely cherish.  Each class builds on the previous week and results in one-of-a-kind treasures.  Ceramics is not only fun for all ages, it also is a great way to build fine motor skills, enhance problem-solving abilities, and enhance creativity.  Children must be in at least a three-year-old class and potty trained.  Regular carpool pickup is provided.
