(203) 374-6548Welcome to Methodist Nursery School! Please enjoy a virtual tour of our wonderful play-based preschool program! This website will help you learn about our school and its programs. We look forward to meeting you!
Methodist Nursery School is a non-sectarian nursery school sponsored by Fairfield Grace United Methodist Church. The school offers part-time programs for young children between the ages of 2 and 5 during the school year and a summer & winter camp.
We know that children learn best in environments that are developmentally appropriate, allowing them the independence to determine what activities they choose to participate in, and for how long. It is the teacher’s role to facilitate and encourage physical movement, freedom of expression, active communication, and individual and group problem-solving.
We want children to feel good about themselves, know what it means to be part of a group, and be able to develop the social skills which will enable them to resolve conflicts with their peers, wait for a turn, and have the confidence to persist at new and challenging tasks.
There are various options designed to meet the needs of children and families, including extended day and a summer & winter break program. Throughout all of our programs, we maintain a set of core values about how children learn. We believe in developmentally appropriate practices and an intentional curriculum that has the whole child in mind. We are licensed and meet all of the regulations for health and safety by the Town of Fairfield and State of CT.
