subject: Pre Nursery Schools [print this page] Pre nursery schools provide excellent opportunities for children five years and younger to get a head start on the expectations of kindergarten and beyond. Although neither is required by law, children who attend preschool and pre nursery school or just one of the two have a far better chance of not having to repeat kindergarten a tendency that is becoming the norm for thousands of children nationwide each year. For parents, it is important to understand the differences between the two environments. It is also important to carefully check that potential preschools and nursery schools carry the proper credentials and follow proper guidelines.
Pre nursery school is primarily a day care facility with a few important touches.Nursery schools will typically accept enrollment for babies as young as six weeks through children up to four or five years. The accepted ages in nursery schools will often vary depending upon the physical layout of the school building. Nursery schools large enough to provide an established baby unit separate from a unit for older children will, obviously, be able to accept a wider age range as well as provide a preschool-style educational curriculum.
Pre nursery schools may be public or private, and may be run by the state, the local community, the local church, a company employer, or a business-for-profit enterprise. Like day care facilities, the hours of care provided by nursery schools tend to begin early and end late in order to accommodate the schedules of busy parents.
Pre nursery schools, as the name implies, is an educational setting intended for children who are too old or advanced for nursery school yet too young to enroll in kindergarten.
Privately-run facilities will often offer preschool and nursery school in one building. While this is certainly convenient for parents, it is often costly and many facilities carry long waiting lists. Many of the larger nursery schools will accept children up until they must enroll in kindergarten and, while these are not officially considered to be certified pre nursery schools, they do provide the same structured curriculum. These facilities offer longer care hours and typically cost less than a separate preschool program.
The curriculum goals of a pre nursery school are more specific than for childcare, but less strenuous than for primary school.
