Our Nursery program began in 2018 with a goal of fostering a love of learning at an early age. The program is designed to provide children with the opportunity to play and engage with each other through a wide variety of activities. The classrooms are set up to promote exploration and to encourage each child to use their creativity as they play and interact with their classmates.
The Nursery curriculum includes social skill building, daily routines, and dramatic play while working on sharing and teamwork. We build on these skills daily while preparing for their next steps into Pre K.
Routine is the key to having a successful year in Nursery and the children respond very quickly and adapt to the set routines. Their day starts and ends with Circle Time. The morning session incorporates a short stretch/movement opportunity and then the theme/lesson of the day is discussed. Morning prayer and pledges are done daily and the children then shift to small group work and following the directions for the day. Since this is usually the first time many of these children are in a classroom setting, our teachers are always accessible to the parents with any questions or concerns.
Nursery will feel like your child's "home away from home."
