Welcome to the Nursery Room

Introduction:

Stoney Creek Childcare half-day Nursery School program is ideal for parents who only need part time care for children 2.5 years to 5 years of age. Our Nursery School program offers the same wonderful educational components as our regular programs.

Morning program times: 9:00 AM to 12.00 PM

Afternoon program times: 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM
(Please note: Afternoon program only available when morning program is full.)

Our Nursery School program is a theme based program that provides a full curriculum and plenty of learning opportunities for your child. Each Discovery Area provides new experiences for your child. The Nursery School is taught by qualified Early Childhood Educators who will provide many social and interactive activities for your child to experience. A nutritional snack will be provided daily.

The program focuses on developing a variety of cognitive and fine motor skills necessary to progress through the coming years. Each child will receive their own educational binder. The Key components covered within the program include:
1. Pre-writing skills (pencil control and tracing)
2. Letters (taught in Jolly Phonics order)
3. Numbers (counting, matching sets)
4. Pre-School concepts (colours, shapes, cutting, matching, opposites)

About the Teachers

It is recommended when your child is enrolled in the daycare, to visit the room they will be joining. This will provide an opportunity for the teacher(s) to introduce themselves and for the child to become aware of his/her new environment.

Please see the classroom information board (located by the door, outside in the hallway) for teachers’ names and for individual “mini” biographies.

For additional information on the policies and procedures of Stoney Creek Child Care Center. Please see the Parent Handbook.

Teachers are always interested to hear about your ideas and suggestions. Please, if you have any questions or concerns come in and let us know!

AGE'S: 2.5 YEARS TO 5 YEARS
RATIO: 1:8
CLASS SIZE: 8 CHILDREN

Our Nursery Program provides a fun and educational environment for preschool children. This class is offered 9-12pm daily, during the school year and closes during school breaks. The small group setting allows for additional attention from the teacher as well as an easier transition towards Kindergarten.

Children are prepared for Kindergarten by participating in a morning circle, arts and craft activities, learning about concepts such as shapes, colours, number and letter recognition. They also practise printing their names, letters and participate in weekly French instruction.
