Jack and Jill at St George

A nonsectarian Nursery School established in 1949 Jack and Jill upholds its effective tradition of helping children to become active participants in the learning process with an interactive playgroup for 2-year-olds and separate preschool programs for children ages 2 1/2 to 5 years old. In a cozy and nurturing environment all age groups are involved in hands-on activities fostering experimentation. Based on a whole child approach a dedicated group of well-educated teachers use positive reinforcement as key to further the joy and challenge of learning. In a sequential manner students develop and build a variety of skills as they learn to make their own choices and become more confident in their capabilities.

Children proceed at their own pace in an individualized program including letter and number experimentation in an early literacy curriculum story time art music and movement Spanish classes work on the computer and a rich science curriculum. In addition to bright cheerful classrooms Jack and Jill has a large outdoor play yard and an indoor gym space. Unique not only describes the primary characteristics of each child but also the developmental process of every program offered at Jack and Jill – where learning is a hands-on adventure and a secure foundation for future formal learning is well established.
