About Us:
The Kid's House Nursery School, located in the original
schoolhouse in historic Pottersville, is minutes from Routes 78, 206
and 512 and offers a traditional nursery school program.
Designed to enhance your child's cognitive, emotional, physical and
social growth, our programs are intended for children aged 18 months
through 5 years old.
Our commitment to you, the parents, is to expose your children to a
comprehensive preschool curriculum which encourages imaginative
experimentation in safe, supportive surroundings. Our
excellent student-teacher ratio, enhanced by the presence of
qualified, mature aides, allows us to provide significant one-on-one
time with children, never rushing them from one activity to the
next. Should a child want to spend additional time to finish a
project, we can accommodate that easily.
Although we believe we have developed a solid program, we are open
to parents' input, assistance and questions. Parents receive a
monthly calendar highlighting all the special occasions, Show & Tell
dates and birthdays, as well as developmental progress reports. Fall
brings Back to School Night and special events such as the Halloween
Parade and Thanksgiving Feast. As winter fades to Spring, it brings
a magical time for children and we maximize the fun with a
Valentine's Day event and a Mother's Day Tea for all moms,
grandmoms, and special friends.
Age-appropriate activities and tasks provide consistency and foster
responsibility. Children are eager to choose their chores for the
day, be it Weather Teller, After-Snack Sweeper or the ever-popular
Line Leader!
It's our primary intention to foster a lifelong love of learning in
our students; we believe that an effective preschool needs to set
the stage for a healthy interest in learning which a child will
carry forever. The second vital mission of a preschool is to
give children a nurturing environment so that the essential
separation from mom and dad can take place. Many times, we've
had students who haven't been separated from parents, or perhaps
they've spent time away from Mom and Dad, but only with relatives.
Separation is emotionally grueling for kids, yet, if handled well by
both teachers and parents, it can be a wonderful step along the way
toward a child's independence.

The Kid's House Nursery School offers small class sizes to enhance

Events:
The Kid's House Nursery School believes in involving the parents as
much as possible in the school program. We have one special event a
month which we invite all the parents and children enrolled to
attend.
We have Fund Raisers two or three times a year to support these
events and enhance our parent involvement.
