A nonsectarian nursery school established in 1949, Jack and Jill upholds a long-lasting tradition of providing quality learning and recreational experiences for young children. Children between the ages of 3 and 6 are welcome to attend their summer program which runs from June 25th to July 26th. Supervised by early childhood licensed teachers, children participate in fun, structured activities from 9am-3pm. A snack is included, but children should bring their own lunch, energy and imaginations! A large outdoor playground features wading pools and sprinklers for lots of water fun and games. And, there’s also a courtyard for playing sports and riding toys. An indoor gym is perfect for physical activities on rainy days. The rooms are bright, cheery and air-conditioned. In a cozy and nurturing environment, all age groups are involved in hands-on projects fostering experimentation. Favorite activities include arts and crafts, music and movement, cooking and puppet making. Weekly field trips to places like the Farmer’s Market, the New York Hall of Science and The Museum of Natural History are a special treat. As children learn and play, they are recognized as unique individuals and receive plenty of encouragement and positive reinforcement from an attentive, dedicated staff. At Jack and Jill, summertime is a happy time, indeed!
