When it comes to finding a daycare/preschool, you want it to provide your little one with education, security, and lots of happiness. He who offers everything is CASA at Asbury United Methodist Church. Here’s a look at why kids and parents love it, plus how to register today.

About CASA

CASA (Kids are special in Asbury) is a Mother’s Day, preschool and preschool program located in Shelby County and designed for children ages two months to five years old.

As an extension of the Ministry of Asbury United Methodist Churchevery child enrolled in CASA receives love and care from experienced professionals who put God and His children first.

“What struck me the most at CASA were the teachers! They are amazing! I really believe that they are all there because they feel called to invest themselves in the children and to foster in them the love of Jesus. The faith-based environment they provide produces such lovely children who offer so much to their communities. They are wonderful examples for their students.

Maggie Edwards, mother of CASA

The program focuses on love + learning

When you think of daycare and kindergarten, you probably think of coloring and napping. But CASA offers so much more. However, as an adult, I am certainly envious of the designated nap time.

CASA’s curriculum includes all the basics your preschooler needs to start their education, such as reading and math skills, social development, and building self-esteem.

But that’s not all. In addition to the curriculum for each class, CASA offers six enrichment classes that help children expand their horizons and discover new interests.

Here is an overview of the bonus lessons your CASA child will learn when enrolled in the program:

  • Bible and assignments: All children learn about God’s love through stories, crafts, games and songs, and engage in hands-on missionary work.
  • The computer: Children ages 3-5 learn computer skills to improve their fine motor skills, as well as problem solving, letter and number recognition, and cognitive reasoning.
  • Movement: In addition to recess, all students participate in movement where teachers incorporate yoga poses with the letter of the week while practicing meditation and breathing techniques. Kids play games, compete in relay races and use their gross motor skills to run, jump, walk, balance and MOVE!
  • Music: All children have the chance to express themselves through song, dance and instruments. They even show off their skills on stage at special concerts throughout the year.
  • Spanish: Children ages 4-5 learn basic Spanish words and phrases.
  • Science: Children ages 3-5,000 learn basic science concepts through demonstrations and hands-on activities.
