Volunteer Opportunities

Office Support Staff: Smiling faces are needed to help file papers, make labels, make copies, answer the phones and greet those entering the Day School.

Classroom Helpers will assist preschool children in center time (“Open Door”), host parties, and provide basic classroom support as needed by teaching staff.

Teacher Appreciation: Our staff is the greatest and we love to organize breakfasts, lunches, and other treats to say”thanks” for their work with the children.

“Able Bodied Helpers” may find themselves assisting with picture days, petting zoo, walking children to class during the first days, or painting t-shirts!

Take Home Projects are available for those who have kid or work obligations that prevent them from coming to the Day School.

Do you play the guitar, quilt, scuba-dive? Bring your gear and talk to the kids about it!

All Day School volunteers must have a current background check on file with the Day School BEFORE volunteering with the children. These forms must be completed and turned in each year.CLICK HERE FOR THE FORM:background check MDS

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.
