Altadena Nursery School, Inc.

Altadena Nursery School (ANS) is a licensed, non-profit,... non-sectarian, interracial, cooperative nursery school in which each family shares in the school's planning and operations. ANS was started in 1950 by a small group of Caltech parents as a babysitting co-op and has grown into a nursery school that operates daily for up to 45 children from the ages of two to six years. Our school is currently located on a church campus however has no religious affiliation. Since its beginning, ANS has made a unique and profound contribution to children and families of the greater Pasadena community. Conveying the history of our school would not be complete without referring to the significant contributions of our former Director, Patricia Hedlund. "Miss Pat" has been intimately connected to our school for over fifty years; first as a parent, then as a teacher, and for many years as our Director. The knowledge and experience she generously imparted to the families of ANS, the staff and to our overall philosophy will never be lost and we are immensely grateful for her profound influence on our community. To continue good works in her name we maintain the Patricia Hedlund Scholarship Fund which we use to support families financially during difficult times.
Hastings Ranch Nursery School

We believe everyone is special, everyone is unique, and everyone is loved. HRNS strives to nurture the whole family by providing support, partnership, and resources that enable parents to meet the challenges of parenting. Parents at HRNS are committed to the education and socialization of their children and are eager to get involved. They provide snacks, share talents, pass on family tradition, and take an active role in their children's learning when they work in the classroom. Our parents are valued for their dedication to quality education and their understanding of the uniqueness of each child. Our school thrives because of the partnership with parents. Philosophy “Learning to live together” with differences perceived positively is our cooperative philosophy and building self-esteem through mastery of skills in all areas of development is our goal. We believe everyone is special, everyone is unique, and everyone is loved. Research indicates that young children learn best using their senses to explore concrete experiences and that they need many opportunities to initiate learning on their own and need periods of choice alternating with periods of guidance. The daily routine is simple but consistent because we know children feel more secure when there is order in their lives. Group times, self-directed play, and quiet times are part of the curriculum. Classes are small with children in multi-aged groups. The adult/child ratio is low and the facility is secure, spacious, and exciting. Children have time and space to learn and to grow. Children leave HRNS eager to learn and excited about school. HRNS strives to nurture the whole family by providing support, partnership, and resources that enable parents to meet the challenges of parenting. Parents at HRNS are committed to the education and socialization of their children and are willing to spend the time and energy to be involved. They provide a variety of snacks, share talents and family traditions, and take an active role in their children's learning when they work in the classroom. Our parents are valued for their dedication to quality education and their understanding of the uniqueness of each child. Curriculum HRNS's curriculum is based on developmental theory and is carefully planned by the teachers. It is implemented with the belief that play is a child's work. Play is the natural mode of learning for your child, who is learning at all times. Children move through sequential stages of development in four interrelated areas: Physical (gross and fine motor) Social (peer interaction, social skills and awareness) Emotional (self-esteem, awareness and recognitions of feelings, healthy balance) Cognitive (comprehension, language development, problem solving and skill acquisition) We place equal importance on all major areas of development. Through careful observation of play, teachers are able to assess development and add challenges as needed to further individual growth. Children develop feelings of competency and motivation for learning when provided opportunities for play and individual choice. Learning occurs when the child is actively involved with the materials of the environment: sensory experiences. Therefore the staff provides “hands-on” activities in creative art, music, science, math, literature, movement, and dramatic play. The Classroom is arranged to provide ample choices for children and to encourage independent thinking, and a gentle unfolding of abilities and age-appropriate mastery of skills The teacher's role is to facilitate and enrich this learning process. Art of many kinds is available to the children daily, from the simplest crayon and paper drawings to carpentry and multi-technique projects such as finger-painting and collage. Our philosophy is that the process is important, not the product, so adults are asked to please refrain from giving advice or help on art creations. Let the children use the variety of open-ended materials as they choose, as long as they are safe and respectful of their “neighbors” and the school property.

Neighborhood Nursery School

The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum is to help... children become enthusiastic learners. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts. Our goal is to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. We’re teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but all throughout their lives. We’re allowing them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We’re giving them good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make a difference throughout their lives. Our curriculum identifies goals in all areas of development: Social: to help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, and feel they are part of the group. Emotional: to help children experience pride and self-confidence, develop independence and self-control, and have a positive attitude toward life. Cognitive: to help children become confident learners by letting them try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings. Physical: to help children increase their large and small muscle skills and feel confident about what their bodies can do. The activities we plan for children, the way we organize the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedule, and talk with children, are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and give your child a successful start in school. Classes are held outdoors. Neighborhood Nursery School is a nursery licensed child care center in Los Angeles, CA with the license issued by the L. A. Day Care-East (33). We are a small center.

Los Feliz Nursery School

It's a place where teachers and parents work together to create a... safe and loving environment that will ease the child's transition from home to school. We boast an extremely low adult to child ratio - it's often as low as 1:3. Parent participation keeps tuition low, which makes for a financially diverse membership of families with common values. Preschoolers feel a sense of pride when their parents take an active role at school. Lasting friendships (for both parents and children) often begin amidst our supportive community of co-op families.
Child Educational Center

For infants and toddlers, the program focuses on four areas:... -self-esteem and personal awareness; -communication skills; -social skills; and -physical development. Self-awareness and positive self concept are fostered by the caregivers through close personal contact, communication with positive reinforcement, permitting freedom of activity, and respect for the child as an individual. Communication skills are fostered through thoughtful speaking with the children during routine tasks and in stories, music, and the description of activities occurring in their presence. Social development is largely a function of the babies' interaction with adults, however, their development is enhanced through physical contact, interaction in play, and structured group activities. Physical development is the foundation upon which cognitive development is based. Responsive adults provide the most significant experience, but the environment and physical activities are structured to maximize development. Infants are supported and encouraged in their natural inclination for independent physical activity. While the developmental issues for infants and toddlers are similar, certain differences are addressed in the toddler program. Toddlers are more mobile, more capable, and experiencing significant language development. Their program features a more challenging yard, with climbing structures and opportunities to take walks around the school. Group activities are begun featuring singing, playing musical instruments, playing movement games, and hearing stories. Because toddlers' attention spans are short and rapidly shifting, the program is highly flexible and individualized. Children are placed in groups based on the following considerations: -development (emotional, social, cognitive, physical), -chronological age, -peer relations, and -available space. Children generally remain with the same group until the following September, unless developmental considerations warrant other placement. The daily schedule provides for activities specifically geared to the similar developmental level of children in each classroom, as well as opportunities for children of different ages and developmental levels to interact, teach and learn from one another.

Star Christian School

At Star Christian School and Child Care Center, we are aware of the... fact that a child's personality and character is formed during the early years, that is why we endeavor to make certain that the hours a child spends in school are not wasted, but productive, contributing to the formation of a healthy and well adjusted person. We feel preschool can and should be more than a play time experience. A carefully supervised and balanced program is offered to assist each child in their learning process. The main focus of our center is to help your child feel good about himself. When your child feels accepted and respected as a person, he or she will feel good about himself or herself and is then free to develop at his or her own rate. This feeling provides a positive basis for future relationships and learning experiences that last a lifetime. The school uses the renowned Christian program designed for children of all ages, Abeka book curriculum. This enables children to learn science, health, social studies, letters and numbers, reading readiness, concepts, music, art and the Bible, and physical education by Toby Sutton (published by Instructional Fair), in a manner which is fun and easy to understand.
Bonnie Academy
