Nursery
 
     
  EtonĄ¯s Nursery program offers children at this stage a unique time for self development in an atmosphere of understanding, and support. The classroom provides each child with a structure to promote each child's personal development in all areas of life.

The Nursery program hosts a class of children 18-36 months of age and walking. By grouping children of this age together, all students are provided with a wide opportunity to develop. During this Sensitive Period of development, children experience fine motor skill development, language development and self development with a strong emphasis on practical life.

Activities in the Nursery environment are in proportion to the childĄ¯s size and allow each child to choose independently what activity he or she would like to do. As each child chooses what he or she would like to learn, each child experiences the excitement of learning through freedom of movement to explore, and enough the time to complete the projects that he/she starts.

Emphasis is placed on providing a foundation for further development in language, mathematics and culture. Practical life activities are particularly important at this stage, including developing patterns of order, sequence and the five senses. Movement is reinforced in the nursery program through indoor and outdoor activities of song, dance and play.
