Weekday School

About the Weekday School

Since 1968, the Weekday School has served as a cherished ministry of First Presbyterian Church in Wilson. Our outstanding program offers:

  • Mother’s Morning Out (MMO) classes for children who are walking and at least 1 year old by
    August 31.
  • A developmental preschool program for 2, 3, and 4-year-old children.
  • A kindergarten program for children who are 5 by August 31.

Our dedicated and experienced staff members are committed to nurturing each child’s growth in a loving, positive, and secure environment. Through age-appropriate activities, children are encouraged to explore, learn, and thrive while having fun.

We also offer an enrichment program featuring special visitors, field trips, and hands-on activities that extend learning beyond the classroom, providing children with a rich and engaging educational experience.
