Nursery Enrichment

We believe the Early Years stage is extremely important in a child’s development. For this reason our enrichment programs provide children with opportunities to explore the creative arts in a variety of contexts that further enhance their learning. Each individual program is designed and developed by experienced teachers to engage children in creative activities to improve learning and development. Each term the program schedule and classes will change.

Part time Nursery students can join one or two enrichment classes each day of the week. Families may choose to join any selection of days as it may suit their needs, and join or withdraw at any point during the school year. Students enrolled in the enrichment classes are also automatically enrolled in the hot lunch program, and the cost of which is included in the enrichment program. Lunch is served for Nursery students between 11:30am—12:30pm and includes an outdoor play time.

Spring Term: January 2012 - March 2012
