At Belair Cooperative Nursery School, all of our classes focus on child development through play, building creativity, and instilling confidence.  A daily routine would include circle time, arts & crafts, stories, and interactive play. We also introduce our students to music, Spanish, and yoga.  Every day we provide a healthy, peanut and tree nut free snack to all of our students. Each of our classrooms always has one teacher and one parent helper.

Our school has large classroom environments with plenty of hands-on learning materials and toys to encourage interactive play.  There is plenty of space for children to actively play outside on our fenced in playground, ride tricycles, draw with chalk, or dig for treasure in the sandbox.  When weather prevents us from going outside, our school is equipped with a separate, sizable “rainy-day room” where children may climb on the great play structure or role play with dress up.
