After-School Program

St. Matthew's offers an After-School Program licensed by the state of Mississippi.
Mission Statement
The After-School Program, as a ministry of St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church, believes that each child is a child of God and should have every opportunity to develop physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually to his or her fullest potential.
Philosophy
The St. Matthew’s After-School Program:

•    Provides a safe and nurturing environment for school-age children in our congregation as well as our community.
•    Creates an enriching environment that serves as a support for not only those children involved, but also to their families.
•    Provides a program which is based on our Christian beliefs and social responsibility.
•    Seeks to encourage the development of children and give them watchful loving care in a warm, Christian environment.
•    Demonstrates God’s message of love expressed through Christ. 
Vision
Our vision is to enhance the student’s learning with the opportunity to experience enrichment activities, social and emotional activities (through social modeling, activities with staff taking an interest in each and every child), and spiritual formation/development (prayer during snack time, weekly chapel) – while also allowing for play, unstructured activities and down time. 
Hours of Operation
2-6 p.m. Monday-Friday; 7 a.m.-6 p.m. when school is out; closed Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day (subject to change based on the year).
Pickup
We pick up from Madison Avenue, Madison Station, Madison Crossing, Madison Middle and Mannsdale.
