Welcome to Nursery at Gordon. Our program is defined by growth and
development socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually through
experiential and constructive learning.
As we work towards a cooperative and cohesive classroom through play, we
celebrate each other’s similarities and differences. We enjoy offering opportunities for your child to continue
developing his or her authentic identity by understanding how social awareness
goes hand in hand where race, gender, family culture and history play a
role. Come join us in a year
exploding with joyful learning through questions, exploration, and
investigation.
