Our Mission
As a teacher, one must invite curiosity, encourage creativity, and inspire ideas. The teacher must set a stage that stimulates the need to ask questions and seek solutions while allowing the child freedom to develop his or her own style of “work-play.”
Independence is encouraged with the clear understanding that it carries with it a social responsibility. Finally, the teacher stimulates and inculcates in the child a feeling for aesthetic and moral values by her own enthusiasm and attitudes.
Our Programs
Toms River Nursery School offers toddler, nursery and pre-kindergarten programs that encourage learning through play and discovery. Our goal is to educate each child in a happy and healthy atmosphere that offers learning experiences that will stimulate each child’s curiosity, and develop an excitement for learning.
