Why Unstructured Play is Important

It is no secret that children love playtime.  They are always running around and playing with different toys. At times, it may seem very random and sporadic. Below are some reasons why unstructured play is important. 
Having unstructured play as a child can help you become a successful adult. This is due to the fact that things can change quickly during playtime. From a young age, children learn how to adapt to change. This comes in handy later in adulthood when life can be very unpredictable.

Children also learn social skills through play. It might be the first time they have really interacted with their peers. The sooner children learn social skills, the better. It will only help them communicate and work with others in the future.

Playtime is necessary for children because they are playful by nature. We believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning that is provided through play. Are you looking for a superior nursery school on Long Island? Look no further than Miss Sue's Nursery School! Call 516-938-0894 today to inquire about enrollment.

The History of Miss Sue's Nursery School

Miss Sue's has been around for over 50 years. That's a long time! Are you interested in learning about how it all began? If so, keep reading to learn about the history of Miss Sue's Nursery School.

Humble Beginnings
Sue Kuznetz founded Miss Sue's in 1958. Classes were originally held at her home in the basement. Word quickly spread throughout the community about her groundbreaking curriculum and teaching methods.

Time To Expand
The basement could no longer keep up with the demands of her many students. In 1968, she bought a house on Old Country Road and transformed it into Miss Sue's Preschool. In 1968, Sue's son Ronnie decided to help out with the family business.

A Family Legacy
Sue retired in 1975 and moved to Florida. She passed on the torch to Ronnie. It wasn't long before he got his family involved. Ronnie’s daughter and son-in-law, Marissa and Mike Wagenberg, son Mike Kuznetz, and step-son Matt Spolansky help make Miss Sue's what it is today. They are always looking for new teaching methods and educational materials that will enrich the program. 

At Miss Sue's Nursery School, we go to great lengths to provide your children the best education available. That's why we have been voted the "Best Nursery School" for the past six years! We invite you to visit our school and see our program in action. Please call us for an appointment or with any questions (24 hours/7 days a week) at 516-938-0894.
