What Children Experience Each Day
Children in our Full-Day Program enjoy a structured yet flexible schedule that includes:
- Circle Time & Learning Centers – fostering early literacy, math, and social skills
- Creative Arts – painting, crafts, and hands-on projects
- Music & Movement – developing self-expression, coordination, and confidence
- Outdoor Play – in our playground backed by the scenic Roslyn Duck Pond, featuring climbing walls, slides, bikes, sandboxes, and imaginative play spaces
- Sensory Exploration – with themed sensory tables and hands-on activities
- Social & Emotional Development – learning to communicate feelings, problem-solve, and share with friends
- Enrichment Activities Onsite – many parents describe us as a “one-stop shop”, where their children enjoy soccer lessons, music, foreign language, and more without leaving the school
- Nap Time – children 3 months through 3 years rest each day on full-size cribs or cots, depending on age
- Special Programs Throughout the Year – we bring in additional activities and workshops to enrich your child’s experience and keep learning fresh and exciting
Our Full-Day Program provides consistency and enrichment throughout the day, ensuring your child is supported academically, socially, and emotionally while accommodating working family schedules.
Why We’re More Than Daycare
At The Growing Tree Nursery School, we are proud to be licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and the Department of Education. While we accommodate the needs of working families, we are not simply “child care” or babysitting. We operate as a true nursery school—focused on learning, emotional growth, and social development at every stage, from infants through pre-kindergarten. Families often describe us as their “one-stop shop,” because in addition to our nurturing classrooms, children enjoy enriching experiences such as soccer, music, foreign language, yoga, and more—all within the school day. At Growing Tree, your child is not just cared for—they are learning, playing, and thriving.
