Calvary Nursery School
In 1981 Calvary Lutheran Church established a Nursery School. During the school's formative years from 1981 to 1987 the school was administered in cooperation with Nassau Lutheran School. In 1987, because of the expanding needs of the school, Calvary began administering the school entirely on its own. From its small beginning of under 18 students Calvary Nursery School has grown to have a capacity of 90 students.
Calvary Nursery School is a very warm place where children grow to know Jesus, and develop through a variety of learning experiences. It is a family of children, parents, teachers, church members, and friends in the love of Jesus.
Our nursery classes consist of either 3 or 4 year old children with one teacher and one or two assistants for each class, depending on the size of the class. Class size is limited to 16 students.
