Mayo Nursery School is a private, cooperative pre-school for three- and four-year-olds housed in the Mayo United Methodist Church building in Edgewater. There are both morning and afternoon sessions for threes on Tuesday and Thursday, and morning and afternoon sessions for fours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. During each session, two parent helpers volunteer with a full-time lead teacher (certified by the Maryland State Department of Education). Very active parents run the board of directors and make administrative and admissions decisions.
