St. Luke's Nursery School is also a member of the Lutheran Schools Association (LSA).
Philosophy
Our aim is to provide our students with the opportunity to learn, mature, and develop in a non-competitive and informal environment. It is during the pre-school age that the foundation of a child's intellectual growth and character is formed.
The school's curriculum stresses the value of play by providing learning experiences that are fun and at the same facilitate a smooth transition to formal schooling at a later age. By participating in these activities on a regular basis, your child will develop self-confidence, creativity, responsibility, Independence, respect, sensitivity to others' feelings, imagination, self-expression, patience, cooperation, and sharing.
School Leadership
The Administrative Team is comprised of an Administrative Director and Educational Director as well as with a Secretary/ Treasurer. The Administrative Director is responsible for managing the school. The Educational Director is responsible for the curriculum and implementation of the educational program of the school. The teachers are NYS Certified in Early Childhood Education (Birth - grade 2). Along with our Assistant Teachers, our staff has over 25 years of experience in the early childhood education field.
