Parents' Day Out
The Platte Woods United Methodist Church PDO program is in its 42nd year of providing quality childcare to children ages 6 weeks to kindergarten (through 4th grade in the summer). The PDO program fits the needs of children of various ages. From our nursery care through the school-age summer program, you can be assured that your child will receive care in a professional, clean environment. As your child grows, the educational opportunities at PDO increase. During the mornings, teachers share in crafts, reading and other fun learning exercises with their students. Afternoons are spent in free play, allowing children to have fun and develop their social skills.
Besides offering professional childcare in a comfortable, age-appropriate and clean environment, PDO offers something many daycares cannot: flexibility. The PDO program does not require commitments for particular periods of time: instead, your child can attend whenever it fits into your schedule. Need to run errands, volunteer at an older child's school, or just have some "alone" time? Drop your child off that morning (no reservations required, except in the nursery) and know that while you're accomplishing your goals, your child is well cared for and having a great time. PDO is a state-inspected facility.
Schedule & Fees
PDO is a year-round program. During the school year, PDO is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. each day. Full- and partial-day schedules are available. During the summer, PDO is open Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. each day. (PDO will not be in session during the week of Vacation Bible School, July 18 - July 22, 2011.)

- Full day for preschool and below -- $22; 9 a.m.-noon -- $15; 9 a.m.-1 p.m. -- $17
Payment is required upon arrival and check-in. We ask that you pay with exact cash or by check (made out to PDO). In addition, there is a registration fee of $30 per child for the school year. Half of this fee ($15) may be paid in the fall on the first day your child attends, and the other half ($15) may be paid on the first day your child attends in January. Late fees apply for children picked up after the close of PDO at 3 p.m.

The nursery accepts infants age 6 weeks to 12 months old. Reservations are required for this room. To make your reservation, please call 816-741-3340 during business hours.
Naptime
Children in the 2-year-old room and younger take naps at 1 p.m. All napping children will be provided with nap cots, but will need to bring a crib or twin sheet and blanket each day. There will be a daily $3 laundry fee if PDO has to furnish bedding.
