Faith Nursery School

Faith Nursery School is a pre-school for children ages 3-5. It was established in 1992 as a ministry of the Faith Presbyterian Church. As an evangelical church, Faith Presbyterian Church has long been involved in outreach programs to bring spiritual and practical help to those in need and members of the community. In June 2013, Faith Nursery School Incorporated as an independent Christian preschool becoming non profit corporation. Faith Nursery School continues to uphold the tradition of a uniquely Christian pre-school. The curriculum is an emergent curriculum based on children’s needs and interests and aligns with the RI Early Learning and Development Standards and NAEYC criteria. The pre-school is a gentle step between home and the outside world. In a happy relaxed atmosphere, the child is encouraged to create, explore, discover and experiment. With the support of sensitive teachers a child can learn to cope with frustrations as well as the satisfactions that are derived from interacting with other young children. The primary goal of Faith Nursery School is to foster in each child a positive self-image. The teachers are convinced that in order to learn, a child must feel good about himself. Each day the children enjoy opportunities, which can contribute to positive feelings of self worth. Art expression, problem solving, learning new skills, and learning to be independent are among some of the most valuable. We endeavor to continue this goal all year long. Another important aspect of the program is to provide a Christian atmosphere that allows a child to feel loved and secure in a healthy and appropriate environment. Faith Nursery School is a comfortable, joyful place where young children can learn to get along with others, develop independence and learn about their own feelings. Thus, we feel it provides a successful beginning school experience.
