Myrna Schoen - Director

Philosophy and Curriculum: Our school provides a secure and supportive environment that promotes children’s self-esteem, self-expression, creativity, amd learning. Teachers foster a pro-social classroom setting, where every child is valued for his or her uniqueness. The program is designed to nurture children’s social-emotional development so that they may become happy, confident, independent learners. Our curriculum is child-centered and geared toward encouraging children to question, experiment, explore, and assume responsibility in the world around them. Our low teacher/pupil ratio, ample space, and small classroom setting provide teachers with the opportunity to adapt the program to the needs of every child in their classroom.

Program Highlights: Our greatest resource is our staff, They are exceptionally competent and truly love working with young children. Our enrichment programs include weekly music classes, monthly science enrichment, monthly music and movement programs, visiting puppeteers, muscians, storytellers, magicians, etc.

The Redbird/Bluebird Special Breakfast was a huge success. The children loved singing some of their favorite songs with Tiny Tunes and bringing their guests to the classrooms to participate in some fun activities. We had a great turnout, and it was delightful to meet so many grandparents, aunts, uncles, and special friends!

On Wednesday, May 26, we celebrated a year of excitement, discovery, fun and friendship at the annual school picnic. Parents and children enjoyed feasting on scrumptious pizzas, delectable salads, delicious desserts, and other special treats!

We would like to extend our best wishes to all the children who will be moving on to kindergarten next year. It has been an absolute delight to watch your children grow and mature throughout their preschool experience. Please make sure to drop by and visit next year! We love seeing how much your children grow from year to year!

Again, thank you to all the families who have supported our school and helped to make this year a rewarding and enriching experience for everyone! Your efforts are so appreciated by all of the staff at the nursery school!
