The curriculum at NPNS is based on the standards set by NAEYC and the Connecticut Board of Education - Preschool Curriculum Goals and Benchmarks. It is thematic and developmentally based on the ages of the children attending the program. The curriculum allows us to maintain the integrity of sound teaching principles and at the same time have a strong influence of art, literature and science as a basis for learning. There is an education coordinator to assist staff in curriculum development and implementation.

NPNS provides a print-rich, language rich environment in which books, visual displays and verbal interaction broaden the child's understanding of the familiar world. Active play in our gym and on our playground helps to develop gross motor skills. Songs, intruments an creative movement in shared group time further enrich our comprehensive curriculum.
