Nursery 1-Welcome To Home Of The Busy Bees!
-
The Nursery program at Notre Dame harmoniously blends learning and fun! Throughout the year, Nursery students learn through hands-on, meaningful thematic units and experiences. Social skills are developed through peer interaction and modeling. Content areas are blended into the curriculum through fun and creative lesson planning.
In our faith-filled environment, Nursery children discover our Creator's great love for us. In our classroom, we learn how to extend the message of love and kindness to ourselves, our families and to one another.
Most of all, our classrooms are filled with laughter, kindness, learning, discovery, experimenting, smiles and personal growth and development.
Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding our wonderful early childhood program.

Let them see You, in me.
