Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy


We believe . . .

that learning begins at birth.



We know . . .

that all children are inherently curious and motivated to learn.


We are . . .

the First Presbyterian Church Nursery School, a warm and welcoming school that encourages engagement and collaboration, preparing children for their next educational steps and fostering their ability to be responsible members of the broader society.

We are a child-centered program inspired by the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach:
  • Children thrive in the presence of warm and trusting relationships.
  • Children learn through direct experiences and investigations with each other, their teachers and their environment by touching, observing and discussing.
  • We afford children endless means and opportunities to express themselves.
