Our Philosophy and Goals

At West Norwalk Nursery School, we believe that children learn from everything around them, yet each child learns differently. Our curriculum is designed to encourage the development of skills and concepts in a variety of ways that will support each child’s modality of learning. A very important facet of our program is our emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking The development of these skills will have tremendous significance on your child’s success in our changing world We also provide the opportunity for children to make choices and learn how these choices affect themselves and others We always try to take advantage of the teachable moments that crop up throughout each day Through experiment and discovery, we hope that learning will become an interesting process that continues for a lifetime.
