Approximately 8% of all preschools and other early childhood programs across the country currently have prestigious national accreditation status . . . Avon Nursery School is one of them!
We are continuing to accept applications for the 2019-2020 school year. Registration for the 2020/21 school year will begin on 11/1/19 for alumni families, siblings of current students and ACC church members.This priority window will end on November 30th. We will begin accepting applications from the general public for any remaining spots on December 1, 2019. Please call to schedule a visit. We look forward to meeting you and your children. 
    Avon Nursery School is committed to providing an exceptional preschool experience for
    young children between the ages of 3 and 5. Avon Nursery School is currently the only
    nationally-accredited, dedicated nursery school program in Avon, and one of three in
    the Farmington Valley.

     We strive to enhance self esteem by offering unique opportunities and choices for children.
    This allows them the freedom to explore, discover, practice and develop an active, lifelong
    love of learning in a safe and loving environment.

    In carefully planning our curriculum, Avon Nursery School keeps in mind not only the
    State of Connecticut’s Frameworks for Preschool Education but also elements from
    The Creative Curriculum.

    We help each child to develop his/her unique social, language and motor skills by
    participating in dramatic play, building activities, sensory and science experiments,
    music and movement, visual and fine art projects, reading and writing adventures and
    outdoor play. We encourage curiosity about our surroundings and foster an appreciation
    for nature and the world we live in.

    In addition, Avon Nursery School intentionally plants and nurtures the seeds of peace
    and tolerance. We help children learn how to sustain friendships, develop empathy, and
    resolve conflicts. We do not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, sex, cultural
    heritage, political beliefs, national origin or disability.

   Avon Nursery School offers three programs in a half-day class format:
  • Morning 3-year-old Program:  Tues. & Thurs. from 9 – 11:30 a.m.
  • Morning 4-year-old Program:  Mon., Wed. & Fri. from 9 – 11:30 a.m.
  • Afternoon Pre-K Program: (for older 4's and 5's)
    Every weekday from 12:30 – 3 p.m.  
  
  Enrollment

    Avon Nursery School continuously enrolls children in its four programs. Children can be accepted
    into our Spring Session (January to May) or our Fall Session (September to December) based on
    each child's age eligibility and the current capacity of each class.

    We encourage you to call or email Joan Parks, our nursery school director, to learn about openings
    and age requirements for your child. 860-678-1267 or joanparks1216@gmail.com.
