Grace Nursery School
The Grace Nursery School
is a non-sectarian weekday school licensed by the
State Board of Private Academic Schools since its
founding in 1954. Each class is under the direct
supervision of a trained State-certified teacher
and assisted by another qualified teacher.
Grace Nursery School:
- Provides
the boys and girls with a happy, relaxed
nursery school atmosphere where each
child can grow and mature at his or her
own individual rate of growth.
- Provides
the support needed for a happy transition
from home life to the larger world of
elementary school. At Grace, children
have the opportunity to develop in many
ways through a variety of activities.
These activities include art, music, and
free play to enhance creativity; playground
equipment, large blocks, wheel toys to develop motor control;
language, story time, puzzles, show & tell, games, science, numbers to
develop intellectual stimulation.
Trips, special programs and cooking
experiences are important parts of the
program. Periods of active play are
alternated with quiet learning
experiences. These experiences nurture
the emotional, social, cognitive
and physical growth of each
individual thus focusing on the whole child. Our
aim is to insure a positive first-school experience for all.
- Is a
cooperative school involving parents in
an active part of the program on a
scheduled basis. This participation
averages 4-5 mornings throughout the year
so that parents have the opportunity to
observe their child in a social setting.
We believe that both parents and children
benefit from this cooperative venture
since the school works closely with the
home. Although it is important to our program,
parent involvement is voluntary and not a requirement for
registration.
- Opens mid-September and continues through
May with vacations at Thanksgiving, two
weeks in December and one week in the
Spring (Easter).
Parents
are encouraged to visit the school in session
before enrolling a child. Arrangements to visit
and applications may be requested by calling the
school at 215-887-6117, or send an e-mail to
nurseryschool@gracejenkintown.org.

The purpose of the two-year-old
program is to provide a social experience for
this age child in a relaxed environment. It
provides the two-year-old with the opportunity to
be with other children the same age for two hours
one or two mornings a week. The child
becomes aware of sharing, socializing, and living
outside the family. Children do not
need to be toilet trained.
Juice is supplied by the
School. Parents are asked to provide
a healthy snack on their
helping day.
An extended day program
is available Monday through Friday until 2:00 pm
for children in the threes, fours and pre-kindergarten
classes. Fee for this program: $10.00
per day.
