St. Andrew’s Nursery School is hiring! Check it out.
“Thank you so much for a great first week. I was so nervous for (my daughter) to begin this new journey as she has never been cared for by anyone other than myself, my husband and her two grandmothers. You all have made me feel so comfortable with her being in your care and with the school itself! I am so beyond grateful for this opportunity she has and truly look forward to the upcoming year for her! I don’t know how anyone can handle so many two year olds at a time, but I am so thankful she has all of you as her teachers this year! She really seems to love it and is already coming home with so much! She will not stop talking all about school! – A Nursery School Parent

Our Philosophy:
St. Andrew’s Nursery School admits students of any race, color, nationality or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

A CHILD’S FIRST INTRODUCTION to school can be frightening. Care will be taken to provide an atmosphere of love and security in the classroom while still allowing freedom for the self-development of each child. This is a big step on the way to independence.
Parents will be notified if undue problems should arise in the classroom. Parent/Teacher Conferences are held in January, February, and March.
BECAUSE EACH CHILD develops at his or her own rate, it is important not to compare your child’s work with that of others. We are more concerned with the process than the product.
OUR GOAL is to give the children the opportunity to grow and mature at their own level while working, playing, and sharing in group situations. WITH YOUR HELP, we can offer a program designed to meet the needs of each child that will promote growth: SOCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, and INTELLECTUALLY, in an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and support.
We strive to coordinate our efforts with ancillary professionals to meet the goals of children with special needs, as well as refer parents to outside services when necessary. We cooperate with parents to accommodate children with allergies and run a peanut-free program.
