Philosophy

It is the philosophy of the Ninth Street Day Nursery, Inc. to provide for the development of the whole child - educationally, emotionally, socially, and physically.

Ninth Street Day Nursery, Inc. is a small, inviting place – cozy and comfortable.  Classrooms do not exceed 8 children, so all are assured a great amount of individual attention.  With such a small teacher/child ratio, the teachers are aware of the developmental levels of all the children in their care and provide for them accordingly.  We all come to know each other exceptionally well and the feeling is one of familiarity and concern.  Everyone feels part of a large family and at home.  Parents, teachers and children respect one another and are constantly in communication regarding progress and/or problems.

Ninth Street Day Nursery, Inc. strives to provide an environment where each child progresses at his/her own learning rate in a safe and nurturing atmosphere staffed by caring and professional early childhood educators.
