Presbyterian Nursery School, open to 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds and young 5-year-olds who could benefit from an additional year of preschool before kindergarten, has operated for more than 30 years at First Presbyterian Church, 2475 Easton Turnpike.
The nursery school, open to all denominations, says it works to provide a warm, nurturing environment where each child's uniqueness is recognized and self-esteem is developed and that staff encourages social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth to enable children to develop at their own pace.
Presbyterian Nursery School says its principles are based on respect, honesty, trust, and caring.
Activities include arts and crafts, costumes, day trips, free play, games, gross motor equipment, manipulative toys, a music period, nature study, outdoor play, play apparatus, puppets, puzzles, story hour, tape recorders and players, video and film, movement and music classes, art projects, opportunities for hands-on experience in math and science, and a strong emphasis on language and socialization.
Tuition in 2008-09 was $2,205 for 3-year-olds; $3,060 for 4-year-olds; and $3,870 for pre-kindergarten.
