School Notes

The Nurturing Place is a Child Development Center that opened its doors on September 1989.
Our main goal has always been to provide children we serve with a safe, fun learning environment that is child focused.
We offer programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-kindergarteners.
Our motto has always been "We hold their hands for a little while, their hearts forever".

Our infant program is a nurturing "home away from home" where the dedicated staff help the children grow, develop, and prepare for toddlerhood.
The toddler program provides an environment that focuses on a child's need to develop a sense of trust and emotional security while making discoveries about themselves, their abilities, and the world around them.
Pre-School and Pre-K children are exposed to a rich environment that enhances their self-worth and stimulates their natural curiosity. The children receive the special attention necessary to enourage good learning behaviors and a positive learning experience.
