Mission Statement
In partnership with the congregation of Union United Methodist Church, the community and the parents of our children, the mission of Union Day School, is to enable all children to be in a secure, caring and nurturing Christian environment. This is accomplished by providing developmentally appropriate activities, challenging instructional programs characterized by innovative teaching, active learning, and anti-bias curriculum for all God’s children.
Our Purpose
The purpose of Union Day School is to give children their first exposure to education and social development within a Christian environment; to make available to each child a wide variety of educational experiences to meet his individual needs at his own developmental level; and to socially guide the child to respect others while striving for personal excellence. In order to accomplish these goals, the essential element is an atmosphere in which to promote a strong Christian foundation on which to build a future. Union Day School is a ministry of Union United Methodist Church. We are thankful for the opportunity to extend our ministry in the area of our Day School education.
We are excited to have Helen Kline join the Union staff. The Lord led her to Union Day School to begin a new journey with our families in June 2022. Helen is an alumna of the University of South Carolina and is an avid Gamecock fan. She holds degrees in Business Administration with a major in Organizational Behavior Management and Early Childhood Care and Education. She has additional credentials in directing and special needs and is a certified technical assistance provider with SCEndeavors, the training and development department of DSS. She has over 20 years of experience in directing in a variety of early childhood settings including prior experience in several faith-based schools.
Our education philosophy is based on Learning Through Play, a hands-on experience through which every child can enter the playing field of life with a strong self-esteem, a cooperative spirit, a sense of creativity, and a joy of learning. We nurture the whole child in a relationship based Christian environment.
