Through-the-Week School (TTWS) opened in 1955 as a mission of Myers Park Baptist Church to provide quality preschool education “through the week”. Our philosophy, “We Play to Learn”, is based on the understanding that optimal learning occurs as children play.
At TTWS children are offered open-ended, developmentally appropriate opportunities for cognitive, emotional, social, physical and intellectual growth.
PROGRAMS
