(Friday Mornings Out) Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church offers a Friday Mornings Out (FMO) program for children ages two through kindergarten.

Curriculum Children are involved in age appropriate activities. Each week children participate in music, crafts, story time, gym time, snack and more. FMO is not a preschool, but has curriculum-based activities and weekly themes. Tuition Tuition for the year is $396 per child. For your convenience tuition is pro-rated in nine equal payments of $44. Tuition is due the first Friday each month, one month in advance. Registration Friday Mornings Out runs each school year September through May. Registration is available online or fill out a form at the Welcome Center or in the Children's Ministries office. A $30 non-refundable registration fee is payable at the time of registration. The registration fee monies are used for consumable supplies and equipment. If a child withdraws from the program before the first day of class, the fee is not refundable. A lottery will be held if there are more registrations received than slots available. Registration fees will be returned if your child is not placed in the program.

Children must be two before September 1, 2008. FMO provides parents with a peaceful time away from their children. Children are cared for in a nurturing and structured environment.
