Plainview Nursery School

It is our belief that the years from 2 to 5 are important formative years, and these are also years of great pressure from parents, siblings, grandparents, neighbors, and peers. At the Plainview Nursery School, the expectations we hold for children are realistic ones, based on the combined thinking of the leaders in the field of child development.
In our nursery school we offer the child a world of people like themselves, with challenges like their own. We see youngsters as they are, apart from their families and also (because we work so closely with the parents) in their place in the family. We expect a wide range of behavior and we know that many “problems” are only temporary lapses. We feel that we can help a child to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually; we can open his or her eyes to the world of nature and language and music.
We can help children to feel good about themselves and their own accomplishments. These learning experiences are made possible by an atmosphere that provides both the acceptance and limits so essential to the young child’s development.
