“Thanksgiving is one of the nicest holidays at Nursery School. We focus on teaching the children all about love and gratitude, as well as thankfulness for all they have in the world.

All the families and friends join together to celebrate this special day with our feast," Cathie McCullough, Director of Community Nursery School said.

 

Nursery School registration for all programs for two-, three- and four-year-olds for the 2014/2015 school year is continuing at the Community Church Nursery School.
