The Importance of the First Three Years

Did you know that children learn more information in the first 3 years? Research has shown that preschool children process new information faster than in any other time in their lives. Below are some of the things your child will learn in the first 3 years.

Teaching Children To Play Cooperatively

We understand how important social skills are for young children. Nursery school provides children with their first opportunity to socialize with their peers. Social skills can be learned through our interactive activities. We always encourage children to play cooperatively.

Partner Up
At Miss Sue's Nursery School, we provide different games and activities that require each child to have a partner. Not only does this foster social skills, but it teaches children how to work together. This shows children how to be a team player and work toward a common goal.

The More, The Merrier
It is easy to see that two minds are better than one. Playtime is no exception to this rule of thumb. When children cooperate with one another, they'll accomplish more than they would be able to on their own. It's a win-win situation for everyone!

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. Playing with other children will also help them develop social skills and teaches them the concept of teamwork. Are you looking for a nursery school on Long Island?
