Junior Wonders Nursery School is located in the landmark Community Church of the Pelhams, adjacent to the train station, in Pelham, NY. Junior Wonders is a place where children learn to play and play to learn. We are a multi-cultural program available to children of all backgrounds. Junior Wonders provides a nurturing and loving environment for all children. We seek to aid in the development of the whole child, physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually.
Junior Wonders offers half-day morning and afternoon classes for two, three and four year old children. The school provides experiences that foster group relationships and contribute to the development of the children. We strive to teach self-expression, enhance body coordination, improve language skills, promote sharing and teach school readiness skills while helping the children to trust and respect the rights of others. The children are encouraged to work together and to share their experiences with each other.
Throughout the year the children have the opportunity to participate in exciting and educational group activities including Jump For Joy Creative Movement Classes and Safety Days featuring special visits from the Pelham Police and Fire Departments. Throughout the year parents and children are invited to participate in monthly and seasonal activities including the Halloween Parade, a Scholastic Book Fair, a Holiday Celebration. In addition Junior Wonders families celebrate a "Special Persons Day" in which the children invite a loved one to spend part of the day with them. In April Junior Wonders organizes an evening Parent Workshop to discuss early childhood development issues. We also offer a twice weekly Science Enrichment Class for our four year old students.
Our facilities in the Community Hall offer a large indoor play area where children can exercise and play together. Our outdoor play area is well equipped for fall and springtime fun. |
