Mother's Day Out

We believe each child is a special gift from God, and we are excited that He has given us the opportunity to make a difference in young lives!

Since its inception in 1988, Forest Hills' Mother's Day Out & Preschool program has focused on helping young children begin their path of success by providing a stimulating learning environment at every stage of development. Our loving and skilled teachers provide hands-on learning experiences through art, reading, music, science, home living, manipulatives and physical education.

Mother's Day Out (MDO) & Preschool provides a loving Christian environment where children can grow intellectually, physically, spiritually and socially. It is our joy to help your child grow and mature in Christ and develop the skills he or she will need for elementary school.

Who We Are

Mother's Day Out at Forest Hills Baptist Church provides a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where young children can grow, play, and learn through structured activities and loving care.

Our children participate in developmentally appropriate learning activities in the areas of language development and early literacy, science and nature, math and numbers, art, music, physical education and the Bible. 

We use the Tennessee Early Learning Standards and our own classroom objectives to develop daily lessons for each age group. The day is divided into various activities such as center play, group learning, outside play, gym time, lunch, and rest time. 

Our teachers also utilize their creativity, talents and experiences to provide enriching and fun learning environments. 

  • We accept children ages 12 month through five years old and do age-appropriate curriculum and activities. 
    • *12 months of age required before August 1. 
     

The program utilizes spacious classrooms, each with a restroom and sink, two outside playgrounds, an indoor playground, a big-wheel track, a rainy-day playroom with equipment and toys, a teacher resource room, a chapel and a library with more than 1,500 books! We emphasize maintaining a clean, safe environment to foster healthy growth and development.

The MDO program is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30am–2:30pm, and follows the Williamson County Schools calendar. Children attend two days per week.
