Nursery School Program

Curriculum

Our Nursery Program seeks to strike a balance between learning through play and directed learning activities. Academics will focus on kindergarten readiness activities. Students use the gym each day and are involved in art and music as well.

Class Size

Our target class size for Nursery is 18 students. The class has a full time educational assistant in addition to our teacher.

The School Year

The Nursery program operates from the second week of September until the second week of June. There are no classes over the school’s Christmas or Spring Breaks. If there is no school for K-8, the Nursery Program will not operate. These dates will be given to families at the start of the year and is available on monthly paper calendars, as well as on the school’s online calendar found on the website.
