About the Provider
Christ Church Nursery School was established in 1962. Since then we have played an active role in the education of young children. The school is sponsored by Christ Church and welcomes children of parishioners as well as children of Short Hills and neighboring communities. We believe that children learn through appropriate play experiences. We offer a wide variety of activities that contribute to the physical, social, emotional, intellectual and aesthetic development of the child. Our days are busy as we learn about ourselves and the world around us.
