About Us
Hicksville Nursery School has been operating since 1967, providing parents in our community with an excellent teaching program for 2, 3 and 4 year olds at a reasonable cost. As a cooperative school, we rely on the assistance of parents to operate and maintain our school, whether it be serving on our Parent Board, assisting in the classroom or painting and making repairs in the school. As a family oriented school, we understand that there are many parents who work and are unable to participate and for those parents we offer a non-participating program.
For our 2 year old students the classes are 2 hours per day. The 2 year olds begin with slow separation to help them get acclimated to the school environment. Diapers are welcome.
Our classes for 3 and 4 year old students are 2 hours and 45 minutes hours per day, with your choice of 3 or 4 days per week.
In addition to our regular student curriculum, during the year we may offer students many other learning experiences. For example:
Fire Safety: The local fire department visits our school to teach children how to stop, drop and roll. They also get to climb aboard a fire truck and talk with the firefighters to learn about what they do.
Dental Health: A local pediatric dentist visits our school and talks with the children about dental health and teach them about brushing and caring for their teeth by putting on a puppet show.
American Troops: During the year we discuss important days that involve our past and present American troops, such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Our students learn about the essential Armed Forces personnel who protect our freedom. The children make crafts, cards and/or gifts in art class and collect necessary essentials (and some candy treats too!) to send to our troops to let them know how much we honor and respect them for all they do.
Librarian Visit: A local librarian visits our school, and reads stories to the children, as well as teaches us all about the benefits of visiting your local library. The children enjoy hearing adventurous and fun stories, which helps them to instill a love of learning through books.
Police Officer Visit: Local police officers visit our school to teach the children about safety, 911, and what to do in emergencies. They show us how to recognize their uniforms, and the importance of rules that keep everyone safe and protected.
We teach children not only ABC’s, but also what is happening in the world around them. The experiences we offer provide students with a wonderful foundation to build upon when they enter kindergarten.
