About the Provider

Description: Tra-cee Nursery Schools were instituted to give pre-school age children the opportunity to engage in activities that will enhance their learning abilities and broaden their social, emotional, physical, mental and moral growth. Our intention is to “guide” our students through specific activities to help them develop within themselves a healthy self-concept and a love of learning.

Our infant-toddler program was devised to give parents a soft, warm, protective and enriching environment in which to place their “little ones” while they work. Children learn from the time they are born; our curriculum is designed so that our children may engage in activities that are stimulating to their overall growth and development.

Continuing your child’s development by enrolling them in the Tra-cee Kindergarten Academy will further expand your child’s ability to grow in may ways. Kindergarten Academy teaches your child to deal with every day social interactions in a mature and courteous fashion. They are also presented with daily games at situations that will stimulate their problem solving skills and solidify their independence.
