School for Little People

The School for Little People began in 1969 as a ministry of First United Methodist Church of Sherman, and it continues today. Throughout its existence the program has been recognized for a developmentally appropriate teaching approach and a professional staff of teachers. Children experience joy in learning and build positive self-esteem as they discover and explore. In the learning environment, each child's imagination, independence, curiosity and creativity is encouraged. Each child has the opportunity to grow creatively, physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and socially at his or her own rate. 

 

The School for Little People offers: 

  • A weekday program for children ages 6 months to 2 years. 
  • A weekday preschool for children ages 3,4, and 5 years. 
  • A safe and caring environment in which your child can develop friendships, social skills, and self-confidence.
