Since its inception in 1965, St. Matthew’s United Methodist Nursery School and Kindergarten has been an important resource for young families in the Bowie area. Developed as a community outreach ministry, church members created a program to enrich the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual lives of young children. In the Methodist tradition of providing opportunities for spiritual and intellectual growth…for people from all faiths and walks of life, St. Matthew’s EEC welcomes children, families, and staff of all races, religions, and national origins.
In 1988, in response to the changing demographics of our community, St. Matthew’s added chld care to its preschool classes and became St. Matthew’s United Methodist Early Education Center. Today, our dedicated and caring staff have the great joy of serving 250 enthusiastic children and families. Together, we form a warm and welcoming community of learners.
We invite you to visit our program!
