Crofton Nursery School (CNS) was established in 1967 by a group of parents who wanted the best preschool experience for their children. This feeling has been embraced by each participating family since. At CNS, families and teachers work together in a warm and friendly atmosphere to teach our children cooperation, creativity, and caring for others. Each child benefits through positive reinforcement, rewarding learning activities and the friendly interaction with peers. In the spirit of a cooperative, we, the participating families, give of ourselves and of our time, so that our school will be what we want it to be for our children. Led by highly-qualified teachers, Mrs. Scott-Kem and Mrs. Johnson, our curriculum involves the entire family. Parents participate in the classroom and are truly a part of their child's education. We foster social and academic development through a range of fun and educational activities, including art projects, singing and dancing, reading and story time, free play and more.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Riva, MD

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Riva, MD. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Riva, MD for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Riva, MD, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Riva, MD.

When looking for a preschool near you in Riva, MD on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
