St Andrew School, 395 Anton St, Bridgeport, CT 06606, US

St. Paul’s Nursery School at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church was founded in 1969. Its curriculum is designed to provide children with hands-on experiences and activities that allow their curiosity and cognitive skills to develop spontaneously. The goal of St. Paul’s Nursery School is to help children develop into self-confident, curious and productive members of society who are kind, empathetic and considerate of others. St. Paul’s presents a developmentally appropriate curriculum that fosters the growth of the whole child. St. Paul’s recognizes individual differences and strives to create an atmosphere in which every child succeeds. St. Paul’s Nursery School believes that children learn through play and that play helps children begin to socialize, share, to learn through their senses and hands-on experiences, to build upon ideas, and to develop their creativity and problem solving skills. Activities at St. Paul’s include art, dramatic play, walking field trips, large motor equipment, blocks, music, sand & water, stories, science, fine motor activities and group discussion. Parent –Teacher conferences are held twice a year or on an as-needed basis. Parents are welcome in the classroom and on field trips. Fees for the nursery school are $2500 for 2-day three-year-olds, $3320 for 3-day three-year-olds, $3400 for 3-day four-year-olds, $3970 for 4-day four-year-olds and 4- day pre-k children and $4450 for 5-day pre-k children.
