WELCOME TO FIRST KIDS!
OUR MISSION
First Kids MDO is an outreach ministry of First United Methodist Church Sealy. We believe that children are a gift from God and understand that learning begins at birth. It is the mission and responsibility of the church to provide a safe, nurturing, interesting environment for young children, where they will experience God’s love, learn about God’s world and be able to develop spiritually, cognitively, physically, emotionally and socially.
For nearly 10 years, we have provided excellent part-time care for young children in Austin County. We are a unique program in that we offer consistent, quality care, along with a stimulating and educational environment. The program is structured to benefit stay at home Moms and Dads, parents who work part time, college students, and other caregivers such as nannies and Grandparents. We do not offer full-time daycare. Our goal is to provide the best care and a great education for your child while Mom and Dad are away.
Classes at First Kids MDO emphasize the development of each child’s self-esteem and creative potential. Classrooms are designed to help young children learn through discovery and play. The spacious playground gives children opportunities to develop gross motor skills and explore God’s creation. All activities are carefully planned with many opportunities for self-expression, freedom of choice, self-reliance and spontaneity.
First Kids MDO is not licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, but does follow most requirements set for licensing. First Kids MDO is open to children of all religious denominations.

Goals & Objectives
Curriculum is the total program that a child experiences while enrolled at First Kids. It includes the daily schedule, planned activities, daily routines such as eating and toileting, free play, outside time, creative art, music, story time, gross and fine motor activities.
The objective of curriculum planning is to provide activities for all areas of a child’s development: physical, emotional, social and cognitive through an integrated approach. Believing that children learn concepts and life skills best with a “hands on” approach, the teachers plan activities that involve the children in experiential learning.
