Experts Recommend
Nursery School
Dr. Benjamin Spock in his
book, “Baby and Child Care”
states, “Most children benefit
from a good Nursery School.
Every child needs children his
own age, not just to have fun
with but also to learn how to get
along with others. This is the
most important job in his life. He
also needs space to run and shout
in, apparatus to climb on. He
also needs space to run and shout
needs to know how to get along
with other grown ups besides his
parents. Few children, nowadays,
have all these advantages in their
own homes. Nursery School
doesn’t take the plaoe of home,
it just adds a bit.”
Hie Center Nursery School is
prepared in many ways to assist
the child in this “most impotrant
job in his life.” Staff members
are well trained to understand
young children and their needs.
Equipment is designed to pro
mote physical development. Ex
periences are provided to nurture
intellectual curiosity. An atmos
phere to foster the childs emo
tional and social growth is pro
vided for the preschoolers.
Parents who plan to give their
children this addition to their
home life are urged to make ap
plication now for the term be
ginning September 1966. Broch
ures about the pre school dept,
and applications for the Nursery
School may be obtained by call
ing the Center.
