ELIOT CHAPEL NURSERY SCHOOL INC
Mission Statement
Since our founding in 1963, Eliot Chapel Nursery School has been committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where preschool-aged children can grow and thrive. As a non-sectarian, not-for-profit, state-approved school, our goal is to support families and encourage children’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development through a hands-on, experiential curriculum. At Eliot Chapel Nursery School, we believe in recognizing and valuing the unique qualities of each child. We rely heavily on the children’s interests to help us guide their learning through exploring, experimenting and taking risks and our dedicated staff provides developmentally appropriate practices that help children develop positive self-images, foster independence, and cultivate essential skills, such as good communication, creativity, and curiosity. These early childhood experiences lay the foundation for lifelong learning and success.
