Welcome & Philosophy:

Welcome to Connecticut Farms Church Nursery School.

Our goal is to make the first “Giant Step” away from home a happy and secure one. With a focus on meaningful and purpose-driven play, we create an inviting, child-centered environment where children play, learn and grow together. The teachers are interested in the individual child’s social, physical, and emotional development. We maintain a low student to teacher ratio, providing individualized attention to each child. The programs are planned and supervised by a state certified Teacher-Director. We also seek to establish an open parent-teacher relationship, any questions or concerns may be discussed at any time.

The Nursery School year begins in September, the Monday after Labor Day and ends on or by June 15th. We generally follow the Union Township Public School System’s calendar for days closed, but we are not in strict accordance with the public school.
