Milldam Nursery School provides a solid foundation of knowledge that encourages a lifetime of emotional, social, cognitive and physical growth. Our co-operative school offers children and their families a communal learning environment, which emphasizes relationship building and hands-on learning through play.
At Milldam Nursery School, we support the intellectual, emotional, and social growth of our students by providing a developmentally appropriate environment for learning through play. When children play, they follow their natural instincts, explore things about which they’re curious, and as a result learn in the best way possible. It is through play that children develop their imaginations, master social skills, and learn to solve both simple and complex problems.
Play is the best context in which children learn. At Milldam Nursery School, our curriculum helps children become independent, negotiate conflicts, and build relationships. Through the combination of self-directed play and guidance from our educators, students at Milldam Nursery School become real thinkers. Whether the problem is how to negotiate a turn on the tire swing or cooperatively build a block bridge across the classroom, Milldam students acquire the social and critical thinking skills necessary for success in Kindergarten and beyond.
