Nursery School News for April

 

Two more months to go and we are a busy bunch. Our in-house photographer, Matt Churetta, did our spring pictures for us and they are beautiful! Amazing to see how the children have grown. We’ve been learning about the weather, rainbows, transportation and will be looking at dinosaurs before we finish the month of March with a Dr. Seuss Day.

We planted peas in the garden and set a Leprechaun trap for St. Paddy’s day. We didn’t catch the Leprechaun, but we are hopeful for the peas.

April will find us planting a great deal more in the garden and in the classroom. We will be hosting the Chicken dinner on April 19thas a way to give back to St. Andrew’s.

The seeds of knowledge are sprouting in abundance as our students are demonstrating what they have been learning each day. We still have availability in all of our classes for the fall and are considering holding a program during the summer for children age three - five with a possibility of increasing the age bracket depending on interest. Should you or someone you know be interested in the school or the summer program please call 610-882-1415 ~ Thea Prostko

Nursery School Mission:

To provide a loving atmosphere where children may grow, experiment and create without fear of failure. Our aim is to help them prepare for future educational experiences and to enhance their development and relationship to the world.

 

These skills will help to lengthen their attention span, to follow directions, and promote their creativity.

 

We welcome your child to become a part of this very enriching program.
