SAINT JOSEPH NURSERY SCHOOL
In a caring and positive atmosphere, we create a warm and happy place for preschoolers to learn through play. As we bridge the gap from home to school, we guide children to a positive self-image while building social skills in a school setting.
We treat each child as an individual, working from the level each child has attained and moving forward a step at a time. We teach a love of learning by allowing children to experience their own stage of development and helping them to feel success without pressure.
The children are learning and playing in an environment that provides an early awareness of God in their lives, unity of school and church, and the feeling of love and belonging.
We are located at 41 N. Carll Avenue in Babylon, New York 11702 and can be reached by phone at 631.661.4559.
