St. Alban's
Nursery Programme

From a solid foundation children grow to be confident and competent learners for life.

St.Alban's Nursery Programme for children aged 2 to 5 was founded in 1978. While the Nursery is an outreach ministry of St. Alban's Church, the Nursery Programme is nondenominational and we welcome children from all religious backgrounds while encouraging respect and tolerance for all.

Our aim is to provide purposeful and stimulating early childhood activities, to enhance each child's growth and development. We believe that the early years are the most important time for exploration and discovery and that children need opportunities to create, play, make friends and learn while having fun. Our programme offers each child an atmosphere of warmth, understanding and a place to develop, both as an individual and as part of a group.

We offer an extensive range of materials and activities based on the well-established principles of the Montessori method. We introduce the first steps of reading, writing, number work and nature in a simple, creative and enjoyable way. Daily emphasis is placed on the creative arts; there are many opportunities for children to enjoy singing, dancing, storytelling, simple drama and artwork.

We meet each day in a spacious, bright and beautiful hall that is attached to the church. Although the curriculum is structured, each child moves through at his or her own pace.

In addition to our spacious indoor facilities where our comprehensive educational and creative programme takes place, we have a large fenced and safety floored playground in a tranquil setting surrounded by trees, bushes and flowers. The church has ample parking available at the Nursery, making dropping off and picking up your children safe and easy.
