Derbyshire Nursery School
| Music | Every week the children will meet with our music teacher. The children will enjoy learning new songs and will be introduced to rhythm patterns. The children will present a musical program for their families during the year. |
| Chapel | The children will regularly attend Chapel, led by Susan Warren, Derbyshire Baptist Church's Minister to Children. A Bible story, song and prayer are part of this worship experience. |
| Learning Lab |
Our resource teacher will meet regularly with all classes for special learning activities which will include science experiments and an introduction to the computer. |
| Creative Movement | During the year, the children will learn about good health and the importance of exercise in creative movement classes. |
Field Trips |
Several field trips are planned during the year for our four-year-olds and Pre-K. Three-year-olds do not go on field trips. Parent volunteers help transport the classes and are always welcome to join us! |
| Enrichment Programs | DNS uses the award winning Handwriting Without Tears program developed by occupational therapist Jan T. Olsen. This program incorporates fun hands-on activities to develop a foundation for good writing habits. The children will also enjoy programs at DNS from outside groups. These include puppet shows and educational groups such as Mad Science. |
Family Events |
In the fall, a Harvest Day family picnic is held on the playground. Mothers and fathers will be honored at special celebrations in the spring. |
