About the Bilingual Nursery School
Early childhood is a critical learning period, and is a perfect time for children to learn a second language. Our classrooms utilize the Creative Curriculum (see highlights below), to track measurable improvement in language acquisition. In addition, Princeton public schools offer a Dual Language Immersion program for grades K-5. Early acquisition to language will equip your child with the confidence and skills needed to excel! Also, developing fluency in another language will expand your child’s ability to communicate with friends and other members of the community.
Curriculum Highlights
- Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers and Twos
- Creative Curriculum for Preschool
