The Olde City Day School Newbold

Just Like Home Preschool and Nursery is owned and operated by one individual. The owner has been in the childcare field for 20 years. She is a certified public school teacher with a B.A. from Temple University. It was always her dream to operate an academic based preschool of her own. With this in mind she decided to create a loving, "just like home" environment for children where they can receive the love and creativity they need to lead them to the school age level.

HistoryEvery child is an individual and has individual needs. The beginning of the school year is spent getting to know each child, and introducing each child to his/her peers. At first, the child can acquire a knowledge of the physical world of the school environment. As each child develops an awareness of the environment, he/she will feel comfortable and secure. The program is structured; yet, an open atmosphere prevails throughout the day. Your child will be involved in many activities, such as, group discussions, designated story time, finger-plays, songs, rhythm activities, dramatic play, large muscle activities to develop coordination, and arts and craft projects. The children will participate in learning experiences that are important to their growth and social development. They will explore areas that are important to early childhood education; reading readiness, math readiness, social studies, science, computers, music, art, physical education, social sensitivity, health and safety.SpecialtiesToddler Program: Ages 12 months to 3 Years Preschool Program: Ages 3 Years to 5 Years After School Care: Ages 5 Years to 12 Years Summer Day Camp: Ages 3 Years to 10 Years Theatre, Library, Arts & Crafts, Bowling, Museums, Computers, Intergenerational Program, Weekly Music & Physical Education Classes We participate in the CBS School Food Program, a state sponsored Kosher Food Program.
