North Avenue Nursery School: Curriculum

Our curriculum is a combination of thematically-based and
child-directed activities that focus on process rather than
product. It includes a daily variety of developmentally
appropriate activities in the areas of art, music, creative
movement, science, number concepts, language and
literature. A child's physical development is also important,
and we provide children with a balance of both fine and gross
motor activities. Outside play is an integral part of our day.
In addition, a trained specialist leads the children in
preschool yoga twice a month.

A typical day at North Avenue consists of:

Free play - children's choice of blocks/building,
housekeeping/dress up, small manipulatives, free art/
teacher directed art activity, gross motor play.
Clean up and snack.
Circle time enriched with music, story books and
interactive games and stories
Outside play is an integral part of our morning.
Children have access to riding toys and recently
updated playground.

The school is in session mid September through mid June
observing Weston Public School Holidays and vacations.

School hours:

9-12 Monday through Thursday with an optional 8:30
am drop-off.
Our 4-5 year old class also has optional extended
hours until 2:00 pm at an additional fee.
