History - In 1980, the Philadelphia school system was using our building for a pre-school, but needed to move in to a larger facility. Our church felt there was still a need for a nursery school in the neighborhood, and so our own program was born. The Nursery School is directly affiliated with the church, and reports at committee meetings on a monthly basis. The program is completely non-profit; all taxes including Social Security and Medicare are paid by the school. Our school serves an average of forty children each year, ages three and four. The three-year old class meets on Tuesday and Thursday, from 9:00 - 11:30 am. The four-year old class meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, also from 9:00 - 11:30 am.

Cost- The cost to parents is very modest - an annual registration fee of $35 is charged; tuition is $75 per month for three-year olds, and $85 per month for four-year olds.

Program -Our Nursery School is dedicated to providing a positive experience for our students. We work to help students develop a self-image outside the family unit and feel good about who they are; explore and discover the world around them and appreciate the wonder of God's creation; develop increased language skills; and cooperate with other children and adults in a warm and comfortable group setting.

Staff- We currently employ a qualified lead teacher and two teaching assistants. Two parents are present daily on a rotating basis, making a total of five adults present at all times.

Registration Information - Registration forms are available in February for the following school year. Visitations are encouraged before applying. Please call the church office at 215-745-2844 for more information.
