• Thurs., Jan. 24 for the 3-year-old class (and each Thurs. at 10 a.m. through Feb. 28)

One parent describes Transfiguration as having "old-school feel and love with the warmest teachers and environment."

From the school's website:

For over 50 years, Transfiguration Nursery School has helped preschoolers enjoy learning and growing. Three, four, and young five year olds participate in programs designed especially for their abilities and interests. The school's environment is designed for children. Visitors to Transfiguration Nursery School enter through a playground filled with a variety of climbing, sliding, riding, and digging activities. Large motor skills are developed as children climb and ride the bikes.

A brightly decorated hallway leads to many separate rooms: the Big Room, Art Room, Dress-up Room, and the Computer Room. This unique floor plan offers a cheerful, home-like setting designed to encourage every aspect of the child's growth.
