Program Details
A Rich Environment
Because this time of life is when the logical-mathematical mind begins to emerge, a portion of the indoor learning environment is set aside for exploration of sensorial and practical life materials. All of the materials are designed to aid the children in developing independence, concentration, and a sense of order. The Nursery teachers are specialists in the child at this stage of development. They are able to gently guide the children into becoming a community of healthy, active learners.
Both the indoor and outdoor environments are rich in language experiences. Children’s literature is always available to the children for their own exploration, as well as with the teachers. Oral language development is encouraged through social interactions as well as through songs and rhymes introduced by the teacher and the music specialist.
Development
The children are particularly sensitive to language development, sensorial stimuli, and movement at this age so their environment is prepared to maximize language and sensory-motor experiences. Here they are able to develop physical coordination, enjoy music and rhythm exploration, and learn in a total way, involving their whole bodies. By working with the children’s natural tendencies we show them that we respect their childhood, thus encouraging them to enjoy learning.
Enrichment Specials
Foreign Language
Basic vocabulary and phrases are introduced and mastered through songs, creative activities and group games.
Music
Singing playing instruments, movement and dance all help the children develop a sense of rhythm and give them another important means of expression. All children participate in annual concerts and performances.
Physical Education
Students develop large motor control and participate in physical activities that promotes fitness and health. Both the physical education building and multiple outdoor areas are used for energetic activities where children grow in physical development and movement.
Technology
Using our state-of-the-art computer and iPad labs, students are exposed to the wonders of technology. Through age-appropriate programs, the child develops a familiarity and comfort with using various forms of technology and keyboarding skills.
After School Activities & Clubs

Before and after school programs are available for all ages through the “Dawners” (7:00-8:45 A.M.) and “Sundowners” (3:30-6:00 P.M.)
Testimonials
Our daughter Remy has had and continues to have an incredible education and overall experience at TSF. Jeff and I have kept Remy at TSF since pre school because what she receives here she would never get anywhere else. TSF offers Music, Spanish, Art, Gym, Computers and other activities numerous times a week. The classes do incredible projects that continue to amaze me. We keep Remy at TSF because in these most important beginning years she will be fully prepared with all of the proper basic skills, concepts, organization, confidence and education to carry her through life.

The room 5 holiday show was fantastic! Watching 16 or so three year olds perform in unison, follow directions, and perform on stage was absolutely amazing! You ALL made such a huge deal out of their performance and it was absolutely wonderful seeing how visibly proud and confident the children were yesterday! Everyone involved did a superb job and as a parent it was so rewarding to see. It simply reaffirmed why TSF is such a special place, and I just wanted to say Thank You!
