We offer a diverse curriculum based on age grouped classrooms.  Our two age groups are below:

Caterpillar Classroom for our 2-3 year old students                                  

A nurturing environment where repetition is practiced to create a safe and comfortable environment for our 2-3 year olds

 

  • Curriculum and materials are age appropriate and encourage students to learn through a variety of games, songs, movement and art.
  • Our teachers help guide students to build social skills such as cooperation, taking-turns and sharing
  • An emphasis on dramatic play is available with our dress up clothes, multicultural dolls, play food and mini kitchen set.
  • Potty training is available.  Our teachers work with each family to create a common goal in the  hopes of potty training in a patient and positive way.

  • Our main goal is to create a classroom that accommodates each individual child while we strive to teach independence, social skills and much more.
  • Our curriculum is created to prepare your preschooler for Kindergarten based on their own readiness.
  • Daily play and structured projects support physical, emotional and intellectual development.

Summer Programs

Miss Nicky’s Preschool is a year round program and offers wonderful activities and events all year long.  We have a very exciting summer program in store for your preschooler.  When you enroll in Miss Nicky’s Preschool, we ensure that your child will have a full and enriching experience throughout the entire year.  Our summer program is broken down into weekly themes.  Everyday your child will be experiencing fun and eventful activities such as water day, dress up day, bike day and cooking days.

Here is an example of a week at Miss Nicky’s during the summer:

Theme: Western Week
Monday: Dress up like a cowboy/cowgirl and ride ponies in our large grass field
Tuesday/Wednesday: Water day fun!
Thursday: Bring your bike to school.  We will turn our bikes into horses and go on an adventure
Friday: Cooking day.  Time to eat smores around our creative and artistic camp fire.

On top of the exciting and fun filled days, we also have several field-trips planned as well as organized visitors that come to the school once a week.  In the past we have had the fire department, WildCare Program, Insect Lab, Guide Dog for the Blind, The Marine Humane Society and much more.

We thrive to create a learning experience at Miss Nicky’s Preschool all year round for you and your preschooler!
