Nursery School

The Nursery School is a part-time program for preschool children, with a focus on social/emotional development in a group. The children attend from mid-September to mid-June on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are licensed to accommodate sixteen children in the morning class, aged 2 ½ and up, and sixteen children in the afternoon class, aged three and up. There are two Early Childhood Educators with each class.

The Nursery School curriculum is based on The Project Approach. Teachers observe the children to see where their interests lie, identify a Project topic and then develop activities around that topic. Examples of past “Projects” include Building, Trains, Beavers, Music, and Dogs. Activities will be in the areas of art, small muscle development, games, storytelling, cooking and science, and social/emotional development. Parents are involved in the program by participating in field trips, and helping with such special activities as tobogganing days or baking days. Visitors to our program have included a nurse, firefighters, and a letter carrier.

As well as indoor play, the program includes snack, circle time (stories and songs in a small group) and outdoor play, in our fenced in playground.
