Early Learning Center
The St. Nicholas Early Learning Center is a singular and an exciting place for a child to begin the educational process. The pre-K and kindergarten years are important in forming a child’s view of school and learning. In the Early Learning Center, children, who are developmentally appropriate for pre-K (Level 1) and kindergarten (Level 2), are brought together in an innovative learning community.
An academically-based program, the Early Learning Center provides a dynamic balance between nurturing and independence, between directed activities and individual exploration, between large group and small group experiences. St. Nicholas has a knowledgeable team of teachers who are early learning professionals. This team works collaboratively to guide and engage students through this initial learning experience. In a context of hands-on, experiential learning, these young children develop strong skills in academic areas as they acquire self-confidence and discover the art of working together as a community.
Early learning teaching specialists enhance the learningprocess through art, science, music, physical education, foreign language, library skills, and technology. At each age level, themes ignite curiosity and allow children to explore their many talents.
Extended School Program
After School Enrichment and Summer Camp
The St. Nicholas extended school program or ESP continues the
St. Nicholas philosophy beyond the regular class day. ESP begins after 3pm each day.
ESP provides students a recreational setting where classmates build friendships in a wholesome and relaxing environment. Time in ESP gives children a chance to unwind, play with friends, complete homework assignments, and interact with adults who can be tutors or mentors.
