Welcome to the Nursery School!

• We are a church-affiliated school with an emphasis on social skills.  Our curriculum follows state guidelines for early childhood.  The children are exposed to a variety of educational experiences to prepare them for elementary school, and, more importantly, for life.  They will develop skills in getting along with others, sharing and being kind to others  Their gross motor and fine motor skills will be developed and their knowledge of the world around them will increase.  Each class has singing time, story time and craft time with age appropriate activities. Classes have a teacher and an aide present at all times and the staff have their child protection clearances along with CPR and First Aid training.
• Feel free to schedule a visit to our school and see for yourself!
• Our phone number is 610-532-4848  or  email us

                     2020-2021 School Year
 What a great joy to have children in the building again!  PreK classes have begun the week of October 5th, Nursery began the week of October 27, and Playgroup will begin the week of January 4.
See above for a ​link to the dates (Events) and the Health and Safety Plan for Nursery School.  Our plan includes keeping your child home if they are having any symptom associated with COVID.
School will open with staggered entry and dismissal times.  
Music class and Art class will be held in classrooms. 
We will be asking parents/caregivers to leave the Church area as soon as children are dropped off or picked up so that large crowds are not experienced.  At entry time, however, wait for your child's temperature to be taken before you leave.
Masks for children will be required in accordance with PA state guidelines.
It is our hope that these measures will not be the case for the entire school year.  If a class or school-wide closure would be directed by the Board of Health due to cases at school, there will be brief online instruction provided.  Suggestions for at-home activities will be given.  Tuition refunds will not be issued if this occurs.

You have received an email with your child's arrival time.  There is just a 10 minute change to any schedule eg. 9AM class will be either 8:50, 9 or 9:10, PM classes will be 12:05 or 12:15.
