Scarsdale Congregational Church

The Scarsdale Congregational Church Nursery School is a non-sectarian, multi-ethnic pre-school serving two, three and four-year-olds. Our objectives are:

For the Child: To supplement home experiences with wider learning opportunities in a loving, secure environment and to provide a solid foundation for entry into elementary school.

For the Parent: To provide meaningful opportunities for involvement in your child's education and to promote a positive and happy relationship with your child.

Our curriculum is play-based and is focused on the "whole child". Our purpose is to:

• Guide children to play together happily and constructively
• Promote the development of a positive self-image
• Instill a desire to learn and explore new horizons
• Increase an awareness and appreciation of our environment
• Improve coordination and motor skills
• Encourage verbal expression
• Teach children to listen to others and to follow directions
• Create companionship and friendship with other children and adults
• Allow a child to enjoy being a child
