Ellen Sherwood Nursery School
Children in the Ellen Sherwood Nursery School range in age from 2½ to 5½ years old. The Nursery School contains three distinctly different classrooms: the Playroom, Homeroom, and Schoolroom. The three years of preschool are filled with experiences and individualized coaching that helps children learn first who they are, then how to be a friend and have a friend, and finally how to enjoy being a member of a group—all key requirements for success in elementary school.
Threads of the nurturing care of the Infant Toddler program carry through to the Nursery School—healthy food, time for resting and naps, compassionate construction of knowledge. The structure is consistent, but the activities grow more complex with the children’s growing skills. The Playroom offers the first full preschool classroom to the children between 2½ -3½ years, who are now ready for a program with expectations for the children to develop skills around social interaction. The 3, 4, and 5-year-olds spend half of each day in the Homeroom and the other half in the Schoolroom, complementary classrooms designed to give these older children more variety in their daily play.
