CCNS

Canton Community Nursery School's goals are to:

Help prepare your child for their future role as a "life-long learner". 

Provide a developmentally appropriate program with a warm, caring setting in which children feel free to explore a variety of materials and activities, leading to discoveries of things that are new and exciting.

Encourage independence, by setting up our learning environment in such a way that allows students to have access to materials, and activities for sensory experiences and exploration.  It also allows students to have greater control over making choices and deciding how to spend their time.

Encourage students to use their imaginations, and follow their natural curiosity, enabling them to discover, and learn problem-solving skills while having fun.

Provide an atmosphere where all individuals regardless of gender, ability, ethnic, racial background, or religion will feel comfortable and welcome.

Provide a feeling of support and reassurance so that children are willing to "take risks" without worry of being "wrong", building self-esteem.

Be supportive of each child's feelings, while helping them develop an undersanding of how others feel, building tolerance, sympathy, and acceptance.  We encourage each student to use words to express emotions and feelings.

Help children learn how to function as a part of a group, cooperating with peers and adults other than his/her parents.

Help children learn to transition from one activity to another.
