Welcome
The Hicksville Nursery School, a non-profit, non-sectarian cooperative nursery school, is a most unique educational experience for both children and their parents. We encourage visitors to come to our school and see our enthusiastic students, actively engaged in learning and relating to one another.
At Hicksville Nursery School, we recognize that all children come to us fully equipped to explore their world, make new discoveries and connections and to challenge themselves and others. As early childhood educators, we accept the responsibility of ensuring that the materials and experience we provide continue to fan the flames or our students' natural curiosity and creativity.
Our world changes at a pace that is beyond our imagination, what we do know is that young children will be most successful in our ever evolving world if they possess and have practiced the use of a variety of tools and sound habits of mind-creative and critical thinking, the willingness to take risks, the courage to share an amazing idea and a strong opinion and the ability to respect and celebrate the differences in everyone they encounter. The faculty and staff at Hicksville Nursery School are dedicated to facilitating students' problem solving skills, collaborative endeavors and real dialogue and then stepping back to allow them to discover for themselves who they are and what they can do.
I trust that the welcoming faces and information on our website will encourage you to call and we welcome your visit!
