In our Nursery class at Saint Aidan, the students will experience learning in a safe, loving, child-centered environment, based on Catholic values. The program aims to develop readiness skills, social interaction, a love of learning and compassion for others. The children will be introduced to parental separation, learning our class routine, songs, making friends, sharing, simple art projects and listening to stories. Our day also includes music and movement, free play, prayer and activities that develop both fine and gross motor skills. As the year progresses, the children will be able to recognize their printed name, letters, colors, shapes, and numbers. Catholic values are incorporated into our curriculum through books, daily prayer, celebration and discussion of holidays.
