Delmont Nursery School
“COME GROW WITH US”
The Delmont Nursery School has been growing and learning with children for over 30 years. The curriculum encompasses open education concepts with learning activities designed to meet the developmental needs of two, three and four year olds. The recognition of each child’s uniqueness is our first consideration. We believe that preschool education exerts a profound influence on the development of each child.
ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Our program incorporates large and small motor development, reading and math readiness and a variety of activities in art, music, and physical education, as well as personal safety and a daily nutritious snack.
All classes have special visitors, such as local firefighters, police officers, paramedics, dentists, librarians, storytellers, naturalists and many parents who want to share a career or talent. All classes have holiday parties and special events.
Occasional fieldtrips are added to our learning experiences. Pre-kindergarten children visit Schramm’s Farm, Fatur’s Foodland, Metzgar Elementary School to visit Kindergarten class, Delmont Public Library and other places when the opportunity becomes available.
It is our goal to help your child grow in all ways: physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. This education can be best accomplished through a mutual partnership between home and school.
