Welcome

Thank you for visiting The Village Nursery School online.

The Village Nursery School is a happy, satisfying and stimulating introduction to group learning, coupled with social and personal growth as chief goals. Our objective is an atmosphere of acceptance for each individual child and family, placing importance on respecting the differences and rights of others.

We believe that freedom of expression within sensible and responsible guidelines will build a stable foundation for present and future learning and social interaction. Traditional values are encouraged, supported and taught. Our goal is to continue the beginning made at home toward a healthy, happy, enthusiastic thirst for learning that will continue throughout and in preparation for the years ahead.

In nursery school your children will...

Learn to work and play cooperatively with other children; to appreciate other children's work; to respect other boys and girls and their rights; to share materials, ideas, and experiences; to eat with others and practice good manners.

Play vigorously in the outdoors, developing the large muscles, learning rules, taking turns, enjoying nature, observing changes in seasons. Teachers work with the children and are always on the playground to challenge and redirect.

Be encouraged to discover and create in his or her environment; experiment with items such as paint, clay, glue, scissors, wood, collage materials, etc.

Listen to stories, to teacher's directions, to other children, to music.

Practice language through conversing one-on-one or in groups, singing songs, thinking and clarifying ideas, expressing her or himself.

Care for and learn about pets and plants and watch them grow.

Develop an interest in reading through use of good books—looking at them and listening to them, reading and making their own, taking care of them.

Grow in independence, caring for self and belongings, dressing, undressing, and hanging up clothes.

Learn about responsibility by returning toys and materials to their places, helping teachers and other children at snack time, preparing for and cleaning up after activities.

Gain self-confidence and security in large and small groups, developing a positive self-image for future learning development.
