Children go through certain stages of development in different paces. Manhattan Nursery School provides children with a developmentally appropriate program so that each child is able to learn and develop his/her skills throughout social and emotional interactions. We are focused on creating a safe, warm, nurturing and learning environment for our children to develop healthy self expression and be life long achievers. Also, we help children be able to learn different cultures and similarities and differences among them while storybooks and multicultural dolls help enhance their appreciation of their peers. Our school provides a creative environment so that children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development can be expanded. Language skills are developed through stories read-aloud, songs, music, circle-time, discussion, and conversation with peers and teachers. Our children and teachers are always respected and trusted. Also, through UPK program for 4-year-old children our professional teachers encourage children to become peaceful problem solvers and successful members of society through enriched early childhood experiences.
