Program Overview
We have designed a play-based program to improve gross motor skills through gym time and action songs, as well as fine motor skills through crafts and play time in the learning centre. We also focus on pre-academic skills such as the alphabet, counting, and phonics. 3-year and 4-year-olds thoroughly enjoy our program structure. We believe in the education of the whole child and do our best to foster each child’s unique capabilities.

Class Routine
Our class routine is designed for maximum engagement. We have allotted play time, weekly theme circle time, learning circle time, craft time, snack time and gym time so that children feel constantly engaged and engrossed in learning. The children thoroughly enjoy. This routine, rather than being monotonous, provides predictability for students while allowing for spontaneity within structure.

Testimonials

I am so delighted to send my toddler to YNSC. She always comes back with a smile and so much happening in her life. She loves showing off her new craft work and telling me stories about what they spoke in circle time. Thank you YNSC for being the perfect place for my kid
Ms Nancy
My son is extremely active and it is such a task to keep him engaged all day. But now that he’s part of YNSC, he is positively engaged and it has also made it easier for me to organise activities for him at home. He has also started to take an interest in books these days, thanks to his friends at YNSC. Loving the change!
Mr Matthew
The YNSC has been a great experience for my daughter, she enjoys all the teachers and has interacted with so many new children. The field trips, and the time we spend going to retirement communities is more than enjoyable. It's a great stepping stone to prepare children for kindergarten and a great way to interact with children of the same age. The teachers also take the time to know each student individually, and build a great relationship with them. My son is now looking forward to nursery school this fall!
Meghan
We love the YNSC for so many reasons! The teachers take time to get to know each child and help them succeed in their first early learning experience. The kids learn so much from circle time, counting, seasons, months, Jolly Phonics, fun songs, stories, and so much more. There are also so many great experiences with field trips, guests visiting the classroom, theme weeks, etc. The YNSC is a great place to be!
Brittany
I highly encourage any 3 or 4 year olds to attend the YNSC. My daughter looked forward to it every week. In her words, I loved playing with all my friends and doing crafts!
Brenna
The YNSC was the ideal choice for my family. We struggled with separation anxiety and the teachers and parents were such a good support system. Of course, he learned so much but the most valuable thing was the confidence and independence he developed over the two years we spent at the YNSC. Thank you guys!!

An incredible program! Where young children, their families and the community come first.

These ladies go above and beyond by creating a fun place to learn!
Karen
Both of our children attended the YNSC as 3 and 4 year olds. They enjoyed the songs, crafts, and field trips, and they especially loved the teachers! They always looked forward to going to school.

All three of our children have gone through the Nursery School program. We couldn't be happier with our experience. The teachers created a wonderful foundation that set the precedent for their school life. We love the YNSC!
