Preschool for Ages 3 to 5 Years
Click here to enroll,
At Monona Grove Nursery School our teachers plan programs that encompass the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of each child. The classroom is structured in a way that allows each child to explore a number of activities.
A typical day in all classrooms offers a balanced program that includes:
Group Time
Group experiences include sharing, musical games, songs, stories and finger rhymes. We encourage each child to participate and share with the group each day.
Large Motor Skills / Outdoor Time
Activity is essential for the growing body as well as the growing mind. Weather permitting, we spend time on the playground every day. There are opportunities for climbing, running, sliding and sandbox play. In inclement weather, we use a large indoor space for a variety of large motor skill activities.
Free Choice Time
Children enjoy a long, unhurried and uninterrupted time to learn through play. This would include sensory activities, puzzles, construction and building toys, dramatic play, science experimentation, books and art.
Snack Time
Once a day, we sit together to share a small snack and talk quietly at our tables. The snack is provided by that days "helping parent" so that each child gets a chance to bring a “favorite” healthy snack to share.
