The mission of Bolton Hill Nursery is to provide a warm and encouraging atmosphere that enhances self-concept, instills basic moral values, encourages social interaction, and enriches awareness of the natural and cultural world.
We believe children learn through their play.
Staff members strive to be aware of each childs needs and learning readiness, and attempt to meet these needs through a wide range of preschool activities.
Through integrating art, music, nature, creative movement, sensory materials, free and dramatic play, cooking, science, stories, field trips, and outdoor play, the children explore the environment and become knowledgeable and comfortable in their interactions with the world.
With an emphasis on verbal enrichment during the preschool years, we make the most of opportunities to interest the child in books and words, providing varied play-based experiences, to prepare the child
emotionally, socially, intellectually, and educationally for
the formal school years.
