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?

At Miss Sue's Nursery School, we understand that each child is unique. We also realize that each child will express their thoughts, feelings and emotions in different ways. Below are some of the ways we encourage self-expression.
Expression Through The Arts
We introduce the arts to children at a young age. That way, they can express themselves in a healthy way. We let the children experiment with art through easel and finger painting, paper mache, clay, and playdough. Children are exposed to theater through puppet theater and dramatic play. Last but certainly not least, the children listen to music and play with rhythm instruments.
Allow Children To Discover Their Interests
There are so many activities for children to choose from at Miss Sue's. Children are exposed to crafts, computers, games, books and sports. We understand that each child will favor certain activities more than others. We always encourage children to pursue activities that they genuinely enjoy.
Our prime educational goal is the development of the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically and educationally. A multi-sensory, wholistic approach to learning is provided through play, art, music and physical activities. If you are interested in enrolling your child at Miss Sue's, call 516-938-0894 today.

At Miss Sue’s Nursery School, our prime educational goal is the development of the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically and educationally. It is a crucial time for them to learn about the world around them. Below are some of the ways in which we encourage and promote development.
Each Child Is Unique
We realize that each child is unique. Each child will have a different set of wants and needs. Personal guidance is given to each child by a team of four teachers in each classroom.
Child's Play Is Important
Some people don't give a lot of thought to the importance of play time. After all, they think children are just playing games. However, these activities are crucial for molding a child's perception. Physical activities help children develop muscular coordination. Other activities may help children develop critical thinking skills.
We Encourage Social Interaction
Nursery school may be the first time your child is exposed to their peers. At Miss Sue's, we understand that it is imperative for children to develop social skills. Our activities that encourage interaction between children include puppet theatre, dramatic play with props and costumes, doll corners, listening centers with records, tapes, CDs and books, rhythm instruments, carpentry and tools, cooking, circle time, games and much more.
Our main goal is to foster creativity and an awareness in the children of the world around them while presenting the social, conceptual and perceptual skills appropriate for each age and stage of each child’s development. If you are interested in enrolling your child at Miss Sue's, call 516-938-0894 today.

Can you believe that today is the first day of spring? We can't either! Even though Mother Nature is not cooperating today, warmer weather is just around the corner. Below are some tips to stay healthy this spring.
Dealing With Allergies
Ah-ah-ah-CHOO! If you hear this a lot come springtime, your child's allergies are flaring up. To keep allergies at bay, keep allergy medicine and tissues with you.
Fun In The Sun
When the weather is nice, children are more inclined to spend time outdoors. Even if it is not a particularly sunny day, your child should always wear sunscreen. There is absolutely no exception to this rule!
Creepy Crawlers
Spending time in the great outdoors will also expose your little ones to creepy crawlers. If your child gets an insect bite of some sort, be sure to clean it thoroughly. Children who experience heavy breathing, fainting or vomiting due to the bite should get medical help immediately.
Once the weather gets nice, we will be able to enjoy the outdoor facilities at Miss Sue's. We have a large, fenced-in and safe outdoor play area. It's fully equipped with swing, a climbing helicopter and boat, a giant sandbox, a state-of-the-art playground and a soccer field.

It has become a common practice to send children to nursery school--and with good reason. Young children process new information faster than any other time in their lives. Since they are soaking up information like a sponge during this age range, it is important to send them to the right nursery. Below are some of the benefits your children will reap from attending nursery school.
Social Interaction
It is extremely important for young children to interact with their peers. Children who attend nursery school learn not only from our wonderful teachers, but from each other as well. They learn how to behave and communicate effectively with others. At Miss Sue's, we encourage interaction with the use of fun and educational activities.
Preparation For A Bright Future
Did you know that children who do not attend nursery school are more likely to drop out of school? On the other hand, students who do attend nursery school feel more prepared to take on the demands of higher educational systems. A foundation in education from Miss Sue's will set your child up for a lifetime of achievements.
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 by the Long Island Press for the past six years! We invite you to visit our school and see our program in action.
