• Real Life Nursery School begins at age 2 1/2 in order to focus on the importance of the preschool years -an important period for social and intellectual development. our curriculum is "theme oriented." Weekly themes are introduced through developmentally appropriate stories and presentations and carried throughout art, games, songs and play. Children are encouraged to choose freely from a wide range of play and learning experiences.

• Each classroom is organized with centers for creative art, literature, science, pre-math, dramatic play, and small and large motor development.  These centers encourage reenactment of life's roles.  The environment is planned to stimulate imagination, creativity, socialization, exploration and discovery while challenging the use of muscles important to developing bodies.

• Sensory, motor, perceptual and language skills are introduced through materials and activities which are both child-centered and teacher-directed.  Work is planned which emphasizes the "process" rather than the product, fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride.
