About the Provider

Description: The Nursery School at St. Dunstan's utilizes the "Creative Curriculum for Pre School" as the basis for our program. This curriculum allows your child to encounter a variety of learning experiences in a noncompetitive environment. It is designed to increase your child's awareness of events occurring in his or her world (seasons, holidays, events, etc.) in conjunction with basic readiness skills (letters, numbers, colors, etc.) while building your child's self-esteem and self-confidence.

Daily activities incorporate a multisensory approach to learning. Enrichment activities in our Pre-K classes included planned opportunities for discovery using items borrowed from the Morris Museum; and our computer program, which provides the children with hands on experiences to make computer use friendly and fun. Field trips and celebrations are used to enhance the learning experience. Special enrichment programs for all children include "Stretch-n-Grow" - an exercise and nutrition program - and our "Music and Movement" program. Costs for all enrichment programs are included in our tuition - there are no additional fees. Opportunities for self-expression and imaginative play are integrated into our daily program.

All programs are conducted in the realm of a loving and nuturing environment.
