Temple Emanu-El’s Nursery School

---

Temple Emanu-El’s Nursery School provides a warm, comfortable environment
in which children can develop emotionally, cognitively and physically.



Our goal is for each child to have a positive first school experience. We support and work with our families for the benefit of the child.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The play-based curriculum of our Nursery School is designed to support the following goals:

Fostering a child’s social and emotional growth
Teaching a child self control
Learning to take turns and share
Understanding the give and take that conversation requires
Respecting limits
Understanding the need for the personal space of classmates
Tolerating frustration in order to reach a goal
Developing empathy and sympathy
Learning to follow rules and directions
Developing respect for peers and teachers
Facilitating healthy separation from parents
Fostering a child’s growing sense of independence

We believe that these skills prepare a child for future success in school and in life. Preschool is the only time in a child’s education when he or she has the opportunity to focus on these important qualities and develop a lifelong love of learning.
