The aim of Connecticut Farms Church Nursery School is to make the first "Giant Step" away from home a happy and secure one. Under the guidance of trained and loving teachers, your child is given an opportunity for regular association with children of her or his age. The teachers are interested in the individual child's mental, physical and emotional development. The programs are planned and supervised by a state certified Teacher-Director.

A learning environment with many interesting and fun experiences and activities is provided. Socialization, independence and cooperation are encouraged. We also seek to establish an open parent-teacher relationship. Parent-teacher conferences will be scheduled late in the school year, but any questions or concerns may be discussed at any time.

The school, staff and facilities meet all State requirements and we are licensed by the State of New Jersey. We provide programs in the following sessions:

• Half days from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
• Half days from 12:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
• Full days from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.*

We provide an optional lunch program from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The cost is $2.00 per day. The children bring their lunch and we provide their drink and supervision. *The full day session requires this option.

The Nursery School year begins in September, the Monday after Labor Day and ends on or by June 15th. We generally follow the Union Township Public School System's calendar for days closed, but we are not in strict accordance with it as we are a private nursery school.

The Nursery School has classes for children 3 and 4 years old where basic skills are developed and reinforced in a fun yet structured environment. The 4 year olds will be involved in a Pre-K class that meets 5 mornings or 5 afternoons a week. For the younger children, we provided classes two or three days a week.
