Nativity Day School

2019 -2020 

Nativity Parish Day School

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.
