Calvary Nursery School

From the Director:

We introduce many concepts through teacher-led instruction and then set up the environment to allow children to apply and explore the concepts through play.

Calvary's philosophy is based on a play-based developmentally appropriate curriculum which provides activities for children based on purposeful and meaningful learning. We are non-academic yet prepare children for rigorous academic settings by teaching the foundations for learning.

Free play in mixed age groups; Music - small group and large group; Skills & Concepts taught through art, language, movement in small similar age groups; Outside play in small groups - gross motor development

Open communication by email, phone, etc with teacher & director. Weekly notes sent home by teachers as a report on classroom activities. Twice a year progress reports. Once a year conference. We do not recommend specific schools for children. We help parents navigate through the process and advocate for them.

We ask that parents not come in until child is acclimated. Our teachers work to console, distract, and bond with children right away. Parents know that they cannot come in.
