St. Andrew’s Nursery School and Kindergarten A Nine Year Winner In The “Best of South Jersey” Contest |
St. Andrew’s Nursery School and Kindergarten
(www.staNurserySchool.com) located on Route 70 next to Ponzio’s Diner in
Cherry Hill, opens its doors this fall for the 45th year.
The school, voted a winner as the Best Nursery School in South Jersey
by The Inquirer and Courier Post (9 years), began as an outreach of the
church in 1966 and continues to provide for children a warm and
nurturing environment in which to explore and be creative. According to
Director, Jill Mayo, B.S., M.Ed., “St. Andrew’s offers a well-rounded
program with many more certified teachers than the state requires, and
we keep the number of children in each class less than the state allows.
These two factors ensure that the children receive necessary and
valuable one-on-one attention.”
KINDERGARTEN ENRICHMENT includes the forgotten FUN part of
kindergarten. It also reinforces the academic skills children are
learning in their traditional kindergarten class. This program enhances
children’s public or private kindergarten program by adding experiences
that enrich their skills-academically, emotionally, physically and
socially. The Enrichment Program includes math, reading readiness,
language arts, science, physical activities, music and creative arts.
It encourages the development of positive self-esteem as children see
themselves as readers, writers, artists, dancers and singers…and so much
more!
The TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN (5 years by December 31st) and NURSERY
SCHOOL (21⁄2 - 4 years) hands-on curriculum helps prepare children for
kindergarten and is centered around language arts, science, creative
arts and music with the goal of fostering individual curiosity, language
development and readiness for learning. Classes are offered morning
and afternoon.
MOTHER’S MORNING OUT is a program for children who are 2 years by
October 1st. The class is designed to aid in the development of a
positive self-image, socialization skills and early school routines.
Creative crafts, imaginative play, language development, physical
development experiences, stories and songs are all provided in a
nurturing environment.
TODDLER AND PARENT CLASSES are available for children who are 18-35
months by October 1st. In addition to the benefits for children, the
objectives of the program are to enable parents to gain insight into the
growth and learning patterns of their toddlers during this critical
developmental stage.
Inquiries and inspection of the school facilities are invited. Summer
