Registration for the 2010-2011 school year begins in December 2009


The Y’s Little Owl Nursery School operates on the premise that children’s natural curiosity and desire to make sense of their world are used to motivate them to become involved in learning activities.  We offer classes for two, three, and four year old children. Our program is licensed by the State of Connecticut, and accredited through the National Association for the Education of the Young Child (NAEYC).

Our program strives to develop the whole child.  The curriculum includes large and small group activities and self-exploration through guided free-play.  Teachers prepare the classroom environment for the children to learn through active discovery and interaction with adults, other children, and classroom materials.

In addition, since our program is held in the YMCA facility, children have the opportunity to participate in Bouncing Bears Explorative Gym, music class, and Y-Swim Lessons as part of their nursery school curriculum.
