Nativity Day School

2020-2021

Nativity Parish Day School Programs

At Nativity Day School our program focuses on the whole child, mind, body and spirit. Our classrooms are structured, yet nurturing, where teachers promote self-esteem, social values, religious values, respect and understanding.  We offer a developmentally appropriate curriculum that includes daily supplemental and enrichment and multi-sensory activities. We accommodate different learning styles and adapt our themed units so that children can develop a deeper understanding and a love for learning.
In a Catholic setting, we seek to give children the best possible preparation for their on-going education, as well as for a rewarding life.
