At The Gentle Nudge School we provide an atmosphere of love, care, and guidance in which children ages 3 through 5 are supported in their social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.
In a beautiful and enriching classroom environment, we continuously present the children with inviting activities that give them the opportunity to play and learn creatively.
The activities are derived from a thematic unit-based curriculum, and are designed to stimulate curiosity, and to appropriately challenge the children while simultaneously fostering their sense of self-esteem.
