Description: Epiphany Community Nursery School (ECNS) was founded in 1975 as an autonomous educational institution by the Board of Regents for the Educational Department of the State of New York.
The environment and the program are carefully planned to meet the needs of the young child for play, socialization and individual attention. The curriculum is flexible and recognizes the importance of each child as a distinct personality, developing at its own pace. However, there is a regular, constant sequence of daily activities and a clear order in arrangement of materials and equipment to help the child gain self-confidence. Routines are introduced from the start for the same reason.
We believe in developing children’s positive self-image with wholesome attitudes about themselves, school and learning. We encourage their quest for knowledge and help them express themselves in a variety of art media, movement and language by providing them with the time, materials and opportunities to do so. We plan and implement experiences for the children designed to facilitate optimal cognitive development. Our curriculum framework and general activity areas and materials in the classroom generate the specifics of the cognitive curriculum.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
