The purpose of the Nursery program is to provide the following:

  • A comfortable setting where each child feels safe and loved.
  • A setting for each child to develop his/her potential physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially.

  • An inviting environment with exploratory experiences
  • Opportunities for language practice and use of imagination
  • Chance to explore through the use of senses
  • Guidance through change
  • Sense of pride and accomplishment within each child
  • MSDE teachers hold a Bachelors Degree

What Are the Benefits of Our Nursery School?

Nursery school plays a critical role in early childhood development. By providing a structured environment with guided play, children are able to develop essential skills that will help them throughout their educational journey. Some of the key benefits of our nursery school programs in Crownsville, Maryland, include:

  • Early Socialization

    Nursery school offers children the chance to interact with their peers in a structured setting, promoting important social skills like sharing, cooperation, and conflict resolution.

  • Language Development

    With plenty of opportunities for storytelling, conversation, and language-rich activities, nursery school fosters language skills and vocabulary expansion.

  • Emotional Growth

    By participating in group activities, children learn how to navigate emotions like frustration, joy, and disappointment in a safe and supportive environment.

  • Cognitive Development

    Through problem-solving activities, hands-on exploration, and learning games, children start developing their cognitive abilities, laying the foundation for future academic success.

  • Physical Development

    Nursery school activities, including outdoor play, encourage children to build physical skills, improve motor coordination, and develop healthy habits.
