Susanna Wesley Early Education Ministry
INTRODUCTION
The name “Susanna Wesley Early Education Ministry” was chosen to honor Susanna Wesley the “mother” of Methodism and an exceptional educator. Ministry was also included because the overall program is a ministry to the children, the parents, and the church.
This ministry operates as an outreach of Huntsville First United Methodist Church and is just one way the church expresses its call to “influence our community to know Christ.” Just as Jesus emphasized the importance of children, our church maintains an environment where children are nurtured morally, intellectually, and physically.
The Susanna Wesley Early Education Ministry (SWEEM) offers combined full and half day programs, for infants through Kindergarten. The instruction and care activities takes place in a Christian atmosphere filled with warmth, love, compassion, and enthusiasm.
The programs of this Ministry will meet or exceed the standards established by the Alabama Department of Human Resources for day care centers.
