About the Provider

Countryside Nursery School is a preschool that provides an academically challenging curriculum with flexibility to meet the needs of individual students. The classroom teachers work closely together to ensure that the curriculum is well-integrated and age appropriate. They work to instill a feeling of self-worth and self-confidence in each student while also requiring that he or she recognize the needs of others. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal with a balance between freedom and discipline.
