San Marino Nursery School Opens Doors to New Students

St. Edmund's Preschool Welcomes Toddlers and their Families

Finding a nursery school for preschool children is one of the most important decisions parents will make. Enrolling a child at his first school is a significant step towards teaching independence, developing social skills, and engaging an interest in academics. Offering new student registrations until March 31, St. Edmund's Nursery School is a distinguished preschool that offers a welcoming, nurturing, and enriching environment for children.

"St. Edmund's very effectively addresses the challenges of young children as they start their educational career by creating a program both developmentally, academically and spiritually age appropriate," said St. Edmund's Head of School Darlene Porter. "We strive to have all children entrusted to our care feel good about themselves, to truly know that they are valuable, capable individuals who care deeply for themselves and others."

Creating a positive atmosphere, where the individual and group needs of young preschoolers come first, St. Edmund's Nursery School increases each child's understanding and acceptance of self and others. Important to the development of early childhood is the awareness and knowledge of the world around them of which nursery staff give each child the freedom to discover.

"The entire staff is committed to providing each child with a positive preschool experience. Our primary goal is to provide physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual growth to each child by presenting a program rich in both developmental and academic experiences," added Porter.
