Our Philosophy

Glenn School for Young Children fosters an atmosphere where children are accepted and loved for who they are, encouraged to communicate, guided into new experiences, and shown the joy and wonder of learning.  We measure our success in the happiness, self-esteem and confidence of our young children.  This has been our philosophy for more than fifty years, and it still remains our primary goal.

Our curriculum is based on developmentally appropriate practices for ages 6 months to 5 years.  Because of our low teacher/child ratio, attention is given to the physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth of each child.  Our classroom environments are stimulating, while de-emphasizing competition.  We encourage the children to feel competent and confident functioning within a group and to have fun while learning and relating.  We are pleased that our enrollment represents different religious and national backgrounds.

Our History

Founded in 1951, Glenn School for Young Children is sponsored by the Children’s Council of Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church.  It is administered by the Glenn School Board which is responsible to the Children’s Council.  Glenn School strives to establish a partnership with all its parents and encourages community support for each family.  The Glenn School Parent Council coordinates the many committees that organize the various fund raisers and enrichment programs for the school.  We offer ample opportunities for parent involvement including serving on these committees, volunteering in the classes, and parenting workshops.  Each family is expected to participate in the spring and fall children’s used clothing sales.  This very successful fundraiser supports the school’s Enrichment Fund which provides scholarships, furnishings for the classrooms, and enrichment programs for children and adults.
