The Paoli Methodist Nursery School has been established by the United Methodist Church of Paoli. It operates as a church ministry under the direction of the Administrative Council and the Nursery School Management Council. The school has been in continuous operation since 1966. We welcome the opportunity to share our program with you. Tours of our school may be scheduled by calling or emailing the school office. 610-644-5576/pmns81@comcast.net. Teachers:
Our teachers maintain contact with parents to discuss each child’s needs. They keep records of each child’s progress and suggest ways that parents can increase their child’s learning and development at home. Preschools help children learn about trust and gain a sense of security. Children at this age learn mainly through play, so our teachers build their programs around it. They capitalize on children’s play to further language development (storytelling and acting games), improve social skills (working together to build a neighborhood in a sandbox), and introduce scientific and mathematical concepts (balancing and counting blocks when building a bridge or mixing colors when painting). Learning occurs through creative activities, such as art, dance, and music, small group lessons and one-on-one instruction. Interaction with peers is an important part of a child’s early development. The children are given an opportunity to engage in conversation and discussions, and learn to play and work cooperatively with their classmates. Our teachers play a vital role in preparing children to build the skills they will need in elementary school. To ensure a well-balanced program, teachers prepare daily and long-term schedules of activities, balancing individual & group play, quiet & active time. Children are given some freedom to participate in activities in which they are interested. Top Testimonials:
"PMNS is just right for us. It's not too big; we don't get lost in the crowd. And it's not too small; there are enough opportunities to socialize with kids in other classes.
We were immediately impressed with the expertise, kindness, and tenure of the teachers. I can talk to the teachers any time I want, and it's encouraged, but having the opportunity to easily drop off and pick up my children using the carpool line is a big
plus. The teachers are approachable and give great advice. I appreciate their honesty and sincerity. Our kids love it. We will be attending PMNS for the next 4 years with all of our sons." “We checked around and picked PMNS…we’ve had a child enrolled every year for the last six! That speaks for itself!” “Our children have had a tremendous experience. Our daughter left more than ready for Kindergarten; she was so much more confident.” “They really do care about my child. She is so happy to go to school every day.” “It’s been a terrific place for our child to grow. Learning through play is very important; she’s learning so much & doesn’t even realize it. The teachers work as a team and made it clear that they cared not only about our child, but about our whole family as well!” “The teaching staff really watches out for the kids; they work with the parents to help them develop and overcome any obstacles.” Top |
