Nursery
2.8 to 3 years of age (Born between September 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008)

The Nursery Program is designed for children who are ready to begin their next step in their early learning education. The program introduces children to preschool skills while maintaining a small class size that is essential to this transition year. Children will participate in open-ended, hands-on activities to develop important skills. Teachers focus on developing postive social skills of cooperation, turn-taking, as well as respect for others. Through the use of classroom routines and enriched curriculum, each child will increase their physical, emotional, cognitive, and language skills. Enrichment programs are added throughout the year when appropriate.

• Enrollment is limited to 9 children daily with two teachers.
• Various enrichment classes are added throughout the year including gymnastics and music.
• Choose two through five days per week with flexible time options.
• Daily activities include creative play and social interaction, meeting times, snack and lunch, stories, songs, art expression, language development, fine and gross motor development, and outdoor play.
