Looking for a nurturing preschool environment
filled with fun and
learning for your 3 and 4 year olds?

The Purpose Of Our Nursery School
Program Is:
To
provide an enrichment program of love, learning and fun (an extension of
the home) for children 3 and 4 years old. Our program is developmental,
emphasizing growth in all areas; physical, emotional, cognitive and
spiritual.
The Objective Of Our Nursery School
Program is:
-
To aid the child in gaining greater
command of their body and to guide them to more satisfying
relationships with other children and adults.
-
To extend and deepen their understanding
of their social and scientific world.
-
To develop competence in the skills of
listening and speaking
-
To introduce music, literature, graphic
arts and rhythmic expression.
Young children learn through first-hand
experiences. The Nursery School curriculum offers wide and varied
experiences in art, music, literature, the natural and physical
sciences, and community life. It opens the door to new interests and
enriches already existing ones. It provides the children with a chance
to work and play with others and to practice those skills which make
daily living more enjoyable. The Nursery School builds a background of
first hand experiences in preparation for future learning.
Within this framework, and under the thoughtful and
sympathetic guidance of the teacher, the nursery-age child is allowed to
develop trustful relationships with adults other than members of his own
family, to develop self discipline and strengthen their inner controls,
to increase their independence, to be free is self-expression in the
arts, to observe, to investigate, to seek and acquire information and to
think critically. In short, the Nursery School should enable the child
to face the future with confidence and anticipation because of the
multitude of satisfying experiences.

Procedures for returning families
Registration will start promptly at the time
listed. Priority for placement in the 5 day program will be
given to returning 4 year olds who are not quite ready for
kindergarten. When registration begins, please form a line at
the registration table. You will be asked your preference for
which session you wish to register. If the space you want is
filled, you may register for another session and add your child’s
name to a wait list. Please fill out the registration form,
sign the financial agreement, and pay the treasurer for the amount
due. You will be asked to pay one month’s tuition and the
nonrefundable registration fee at the time of registration.
Checks should be made payable to SPUMC Nursery School. As a
returning student, copies of birth certificates and health forms are
already on file. If you are registering a sibling new to the school,
then you must bring with you a copy of your child’s birth
certificate. This will be kept on file with the registration.
If you need one, please take a Maryland Dept. of Health Immunization
form. These will be due back on the first day of school.
Once you have handed in your completed forms and the check, you are
registered and free to go.
We strongly recommend that you
not schedule trips, doctor appointments, etc. for the registration
date or for its snow date. In the past, we have had to
postpone registration due to inclement weather. NO ONE IS
ALLOWED TO REGISTER EARLY. If you have a conflict, a
grandparent or other designated adult may register your child for
you, but please be aware that their signature on the registration
materials is a binding agreement to the rules, regulations, and
admission requirements of the school. You may also call the
registrar after your scheduled registration.
Procedures for the General
Public Registration
Registration will start promptly at the time listed. We will
use a lottery system for registration. You will be asked to
pick a number from a basket. The number that you pick is the
order in which you register. When your number is called,
please proceed to the table. You will be asked for your class
preference (AM or PM). If that session is filled, please have
a second choice ready. If you wish, you may be placed on a
waiting list in case a spot becomes available for your first choice.
Please speak to the Registrar concerning this.
Remember to bring to
registration:
-
Copy of your child’s birth certificate

month’s tuition (4 year program/5 day is $360/month,4 year
