About the Provider

Description: St. John’s Christian Nursery School has been impacting the lives of children and their families in the Turnersville area for over 35 years. Our mission is to share the love of Jesus Christ with children, not only through the Word of God, but by also providing a safe, nurturing environment in which children can grow and learn.

All our staff members are Christians and are dependent upon God for His provision in every area of their lives. They are committed to the belief that children deserve a safe, positive, nurturing and age-appropriate learning environment that is free of fear, pressure to "grow up’ and prejudice. We also believe that a successful nursery school ministry is the shared responsibility of children, parents and nursery school staff.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have sent both of my kids here for 2 years each and let me say that I could not have asked for a more fantastic place for my children to experience school at such an early age. My kids went to nursery school 2 days per week and the pre K program for 2 days per week. The teachers are nurturing and patient, the facility is spotless and well cared for, there are a lot of great class trips/events, and boy do the kids have fun! If you are like me and want your kids' early school experiences to be less academic and more about socialization (though still learning ABC's & 123's), then I HIGHLY recommend St. John's Christian school. If only they offered a Kindergarten program, too!!!
