At Reformed Church Nursery School, children from ages two-and-a-half to five-years-old receive social, emotional, physical and cognitivie growth in a safe inclusive environment.

"My three-and-a-half year old is in his first year there and leaves every day with a smile," said . "I know he is well taken care of by the staff and know he is learning. The women that run the school have been there a long time and truly love the students and their work."

A "peanut free" school, parents won't have to worry about their children with nut allergies having a reaction. And no matter what the weather is like, youngsters can rund around the indoor "hym" or in the outdoor play hard from September through June for half or full days.
