About St. John's W.E.E. School
A Place to Learn, Play & Grow
For more than 20 years, St. John’s W.E.E. School has provided a nurturing Christian preschool environment for children and families in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
We believe some of the most meaningful learning happens through play, exploration, creativity, and relationships. Our goal is to create a place where children feel safe, loved, and excited to come to school each day while developing socially, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually.
Our Mission
Learning Through Play. Growing in Faith.
St. John’s UMC W.E.E. School provides a nurturing Christian environment where children can learn through play and grow to their fullest potential.
We strive to lay a strong foundation that encourages a lifelong love of learning, respect for oneself and others, and the knowledge that every child is a valuable child of God.
Curriculum Statement
St. John's W.E.E. School uses a theme based curriculum. We emphasize Christianity through Bible stories and weekly Chapel time. We will celebrate the holidays that are highlighted in that month as well as other events that also might occur.
Growing in Faith
A Christian Foundation
W.E.E. School is a ministry of St. John’s United Methodist Church. Christian values are woven into the preschool experience through Bible stories, weekly Chapel, and the way our teachers encourage children to love, respect, and care for one another.
We want every child who walks through our doors to know that they are known, loved, and valued by God.
More Than a Preschool
A Community for Children & Families
Some of the sweetest parts of preschool happen outside of the lesson plan.
W.E.E. School gives children opportunities to make friends, celebrate special days, experience school traditions, play together, and create memories with their classmates and teachers.
For many families, W.E.E. School becomes much more than the place their child attends preschool—it becomes a community.
The Heart of W.E.E. School
Our teachers and staff are at the heart of everything we do. They work to create classrooms that are welcoming, engaging, and filled with opportunities for children to learn and grow.

Preschool Should Feel Like Preschool
Young children learn best when they are given opportunities to explore, create, imagine, move, and discover.
Our theme-based curriculum includes creative play, music, art, stories, cooking, visits from community helpers, and hands-on learning experiences. Children are also introduced to age-appropriate concepts involving letters, numbers, shapes, and colors as they prepare for the next stage of learning.
Our goal isn't simply to prepare children academically. We want them to develop confidence, independence, friendships, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning.
