Village Nursery School
Because we believe that who the child is, is more important than what he/she can do, we have designed our non-denominational Village Nursery School program to foster the growth of the whole child. We strive to create a warm, loving environment in which the child feels accepted, secure and good about himself/herself. Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of each child, being sensitive to age appropriate expectations and enabling growth on an individual basis.
Our emphasis is on socialization skills. We feel that a child's greatest need at age three, four and five is to develop skills in self-control as well as self-expression. The child needs to learn to modify behavior, if necessary, to be accepted as part of a group. The child needs to feel good about his/her ability to function as an individual outside the family and to learn to accept routine.
Our goal is to create an environment in which the child is free to explore his/her own capabilities and to expand his/her knowledge and experience. We want your child's time at THE VILLAGE NURSERY SCHOOL to be happy and rewarding. Our staff is committed to doing all that is within their power to make that possible.
The school is open to all children from local communities. Class sizes are limited, and are filled on a first come first served basis.
