The Learning Nest

Educational Programs

Ages 2 – 5

Built on decades of experience, our preschool program is designed to nurture each student’s emerging sense of self through an academically-focused curriculum, qualified and caring teachers, creative play with friends, and a supportive environment designed for exploration.

  • TWO YEAR OLD PROGRAM

    With so many physical, cognitive, and social milestones to achieve in such a short period of time, our preschool curriculum for two year old’s encourages children to learn through exploration. Our teachers create a supportive, loving environment that fosters autonomy and self-confidence in these newly-independent and increasingly-social students. This class is offered 9AM-11:30AM, two days a week with the option of early start or late pickup (perfect for if they have a sibling in an older class).

  • THREE YEAR OLD PROGRAM

    With an array of fun-filled learning centers, our three year old program focuses on building cognitive performance through child-initiated, cooperative play. Our teachers introduce these active and enthusiastic learners to a more structured curriculum and new academic concepts in language, literacy, mathematics, and science. With a consistent daily schedule, classroom roles, and focused enrichment classes, our three year old’s gain a sense of self-reliance and independence. This class is offered 9AM-12:30PM, three days a week and includes eating a packed lunch from home. A great addition to this day would be early start or late pickup for more playtime with friends.

  • FOUR & FIVE YEAR OLD PROGRAM

    Our four and five year old program focuses on the skills your child needs for Kindergarten readiness. Our teachers prepare our students for the academic challenges and environment they will encounter in Kindergarten and beyond, by tailoring the curriculum and lessons to the child’s needs, encouraging meaningful learning experiences through play, and instilling a sense of responsibility, leadership, and independence during the Pre-K year. This class is offered 9AM-12:30PM, four days a week and includes eating a packed lunch from home. A great addition to this day would be early start or late pickup for more playtime with friends.

A Typical Day

At The Learning Nest

Circle Time- this is a time for the class to learn about the day’s activities, participate in class jobs, talk about the calendar and weather, sing songs, etc. This is also a great time for the students to practice listening skills, turn-taking, speaking in front of a group, and other social skills.

Center play and Teacher directed activities- During this time the children get to make choices about what activities they want to investigate. Centers include math, language, art, music, blocks, dramatic play, sensory, science, and literature. This is also a time for teachers to lead small group instruction.

Large Muscle Time- The children will get to explore the outdoors while running, jumping, and climbing on the large fenced in playground. On inclement weather days, the children will have the opportunity to get energy out in our indoor playground area.

Snack Time- Everyday, TLN will provide a healthy snack for the children. We will also have parent-provided snacks for special themes and celebrations.

Lunch Time- Our older students will bring a packed lunch from home to enjoy lunch and socialization with friends.
