This nursery school is owned and operated by the Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church. It is open to all students in and around the Winchester area.
Open since 1969, the United Methodist Nursery School serves children aged 3 to 5. The administration believes that school and learning should be enjoyable and involve exploration and discovery. The school promotes learning through play, since most children learn through sensory means. Students are allowed free play, but the school does teach concepts through planned and directed activities.
The atmosphere at the school is one that encourages freedom of choice, but is set within a structured environment that supports a child's independence.
