MDS Registration

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION

-PLEASE READ CAREFULLY-

Next year will be the Day School’s 49th year of ministry and we are so glad you are considering being a part of our school.

Please be sure to carefully read the Registration Procedures and let the Administrative Office know if you need clarification on any of the procedures.

The Day School’s waiting list policy considers many factors when determining who will move from a waiting list to a classroom spot. The order of children on a class waiting list does not necessarily guarantee classroom placement. Church membership, having a sibling who is a preschooler, having a sibling who is enrolled in the program, current enrollment in the program, or being an alumni family of the school are examples of other factors considered in prioritizing who will move to a classroom spot. These particular considerations are not exhaustive and other factors may be considered and are left to the discretion of the Day School Administrative Staff. A waiting list for a particular class will not be started until the class is full. The waiting list is good only for the current school year and does not transfer into another year.

All fees are approved by the Methodist Day School Board.

Tuition is based on the number of school days in the entire school year for each program (CDO Monday/Friday & CDO Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, Preschool, and Bridge).

The year’s total tuition is divided by 9 months to determine monthly payment.

A registration fee of $225 per child, a supply/technology fee of $75 per child and May 2022 tuition must be paid when registering.

Tuition is payable by the year, semester, or month and is due on or before the first school day of each month.

School closings/holidays are pre-calculated in the tuition rates and there are no credits given for children’s absences or unscheduled school closings. Registration fee and May 2020 tuition will be paid when returning registration forms.

ALL ACCOUNTS MUST BE CURRENT FOR A CHILD TO REGISTER FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR (including late fees).

To keep tuition rates reasonable, families will have the opportunity to provide consumable donations to the school such as tissue, paper towels, baby wipes, batteries, etc. Be on the lookout for more information in the Fall!

Thank you for your continued support of the ministry of the Methodist Day School of First United Methodist Church.

Employment Opportunities

The Methodist Day School is currently accepting applications for permanent and substitute teachers and caregivers to work with children ages 6 months through 5 years.

While prior experience with young children is desirable, it is not necessary. Our current staff members have diverse vocational backgrounds ranging from business, nursing, and social work as well as education. The one thing we all share is a love for children and the desire to be in ministry for the sake of those children. This is a ministry of First United Methodist Church Missouri City and staff members are professing Christians. Fluency in English is required for these positions. All other training will be provided.

Hours of employment are 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM and we observe the FBISD school closings calendar. This is a great part-time opportunity for moms who want to work while their kids are in school or anyone who desires meaningful, part-time employment.

Prospective employees must complete an employment application and affidavit prior to being considered for a job position. The affidavit can be notarized when employment application is delivered. You will be asked to provide a photo id and social security card.
