Aldrich Memorial Nursery School
Preschool in Rochester, MN 55901
Aldrich Memorial Nursery School is a nationally accredited learning program for preschool children. Our mission is to provide an inclusive, developmentally based program that fosters a child’s social, physical, emotional, and intellectual development, focusing on interactive play.
Aldrich provides a learning environment based on developmentally appropriate experiences in all areas of growth. We call this ‘child directed learning.’ We believe social, physical, emotional, and intellectual development are of equal importance. Children learn through experimentation, manipulation, observation, and social interaction. Teachers plan the curriculum for the needs of both the group and the individual child.
