Nursery School - The partial-day, partial-week Nursery School program is a state-licensed program offering classes MWF from 9-11:30 AM for 4-year-olds and TTH from 9-11:30 AM for 3-year-olds. Nursery School curriculum follows the CT ELDS (Connecticut Early Learning Developmental Standards) as well as Learning Without Tears and is located in the secure, spacious and stimulating environment of early childhood classrooms on the 2nd floor in the main YMCA building.
