Preschool Program
Our preschool program offers a thoughtful balance of play, learning, and social development, designed to meet the growing needs of each child.
Every day at Killingworth Nursery School is filled with meaningful experiences that encourage children to explore, build confidence, and develop a love of learning in a warm and nurturing environment.
Our caring teachers recognize the uniqueness of each child and support their individual growth—helping them become confident, happy learners ready for the next step… Kindergarten!
A Day at KNS
Each day at Killingworth Nursery School is thoughtfully structured while still allowing for creativity, exploration, and play.
Our day includes:
- Circle time, where we greet one another, sing songs, and talk about the day’s theme, calendar, and weather
- Center time, where children explore hands-on activities like blocks, art, dress-up, puzzles, and more—both independently and with friends
- Creative learning, including art projects, group games, listening activities, and early readiness exercises
- Early learning skills, where children build language, social, and readiness skills through fun activities
- Lunch together, where children share songs, conversation, and time with friends
- Outdoor play, (weather permitting) where children develop coordination, confidence, and social skills on our fenced playground
- Story or quiet book time, helping children wind down before dismissal
What Children Learn
Throughout the year, children are introduced to key early learning concepts through play-based activities, including:

Counting and identifying numbers 1–20
Recognizing and writing their names
