The toddler with care-giver program introduces the concept of a school setting to our youngest children. It is open to children eighteen months to under three years old. This program features both teacher-led activities and unstructured playtime that gives children a chance to create, explore, and learn while building their confidence and independence.
Mrs. Carubia Tribute
Report
Community Nursery School is privileged to honor, Valerie Carubia, as she begins her retirement after 31 years of dedication and service to our beloved preschool. Mrs. Carubia was often a child's first teacher. This incredible first step for a child became a significant milestone in their love of learning.
