About the Provider
Clarlen Nursery, Inc. is a private, non-sectarian preschool for three and four year old children. Under the direction of qualified early childhood teachers, we plan activities and experiences that promote maximum growth in all areas of a child’s intellectual, social, physical, emotional and creative development. A wide variety of materials and equipment are available to each child. Clarlen Nursery holds high the aim for the child to feel a trusting companionship with children his own age, to find guidance from helpful as well as firm adults and to feel prized and respected away from home. Learning to trust and share, fail and succeed and to be loved and respected for one’s self is so important for a three and four year old child.
