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.
