Where Childhood Blossoms Through Play!
Our Classrooms
At Wrightstown Friends Nursery School, we immerse children in learning experiences through their senses.
We Learn Through Our Hands
We believe young children learn best through meaningful, hands-on experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Every day, our students explore the world around them through activities such as:
Creating collages by tearing paper, printing with vegetables, sewing pockets to wear and contributing to our class family quilt, flipping pancakes on Pajama Day, dipping candles at Thanksgiving, uncovering dinosaur fossils hidden in ice, pouring tea for grandparents at our Grandparents Tea, hammering at the workbench, building aquariums in the block room, exploring sensory play with shaving cream, and chopping vegetables to make homemade soup.
Through these joyful experiences, children develop independence, problem-solving skills, fine motor coordination, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
We Learn With Our Imaginations
Our ever-changing Yellow Box may be a penguin igloo, an ice cream store or a whale watching boat. Each week, it changes as we explore new territories, and the children are immersed in a new world of play.
We draw pictures for our journals while dictating the story to a teacher. We learn that what we say can be written, and read back to us, building an important literacy connection. It is great fun to sit in the Author’s Chair to share stories with an audience of friends.
We Learn With Our Hearts
The most important lesson we learn at Wrightstown Friends is how to have a friend — and how to be a friend. Our caring teachers model kindness, compassion, and respect each day. Through thoughtful games and shared activities, children learn to take turns, listen to one another, and work together. Meaningful one-on-one time with teachers helps build trusting relationships, while sharing snack and lunchtime helps us grow together as a school family.
Reaching out into the community helps us stretch our wings and build connections beyond the classroom. Our Buddy Program with Buckingham Friends School encourages new friendships and shared experiences.
Field trips to the Michener Art Museum, George School, and a local apple orchard give children opportunities to explore, create, and learn together. Visits from community helpers, such as firefighters, police officers, and postal workers, help children learn the importance of kindness, respect, and good manners.
