Child's World Nursery School (CWNS) has operated as a non-sectarian, non-profit community service of the United Methodist Church of Port Washington for more than 30 years. Child's World participates in the Universal Pre-K Program, under the authorization of the Port Washington School District. The school is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and licensed by the New York Office of Children and Family Services.
CWNS offers programming for 2 to 4 year olds that is designed to stimulate and provide opportunities for individual growth. The philosophy at Child's World Nursery School is that the best way to prepare our children for the future and foster a lifelong love of learning is through the power of play. Through play, children engage their natural inclination to explore, investigate, experiment — a process of learning that has been found to enhance academic success and promote self-esteem. At CWNS, their goal is to promote social, emotional, intellectual and physical development through enriching group activity and discovery, and also to provide an environment in which children learn at their own pace.
Child's World Nursery School offers morning and afternoon classes as well as extended day programming. Students may also participate in a Stay and Play program, an after school initiative that extends your child's day for up to three days per week.
In addition to parent involvement in the classroom experience, the CWNS staff are always available to address questions and concerns about each child's development. Parents will also have the opportunity to meet individually with their child's teacher during two scheduled conferences during the school year.
