Welcome to Metropolitan Nursery School!

Established in 1966 by the caring community of Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church, Metropolitan Nursery School is a warm and inviting preschool located in the heart of Washington, DC. Here, we believe that every child is unique, and we celebrate their individual learning styles in a play-based and nurturing environment.

Admissions

Admissions are conducted through a lottery system, with priority given to church members and current families. We strive to make the process fair and accessible for everyone.

Parent Involvement

We believe that parents play a vital role in their child's education. That's why we encourage parent involvement through volunteering, events, and open communication. Together, we can create a supportive and enriching environment for our children.
