For the first time in its 26 – year history, the Waldorf School of Princeton will open its nursery program to children who are three years old by December 31. Previously, the nursery program was only open to children who were three by June 1. The Waldorf School of Princeton is located at 1062 Cherry Hill Road in Montgomery Township.
“For years, we have had parents requesting that we lower the entrance age for children in our nursery program. For the 2010-2011school year, we are pleased to finally be able to open up this program to accommodate more children. With more families needing two-incomes, the reality is that parents must find an appropriate place for their young child to be during the day. Our nursery program is unique because it combines a nurturing home-like atmosphere with the structure and resources of an established school curriculum. We look forward to welcoming new families into this program,” said Diane Barlow, Director of Admissions and Development at the Waldorf School of Princeton.
Beginning in September, the Waldorf School will also be adding a nursery class, so that there will be two nursery classes-- a three-day program and a four/five-day program. As with all of the School’s early childhood classes (with exception of parent-child), there will be a half-day and a full-day option.
On March 13 from 10 a.m. until noon the Waldorf School of Princeton will hold an open house. During the open house there will be an opportunity to learn more about all of the school’s programs, including the nursery class.
