Westville Performing Arts Center has found a home on the second floor of 351 McKinley Ave. in the former St. Aedan’s Parish school building.

WESTVILLE COMMUNITY NURSERY SCHOOL:
OPENINGS IN SEPTEMBER FOR SCHOOL YEAR
|
|
Calling all 3 year olds (or almost 3 year olds) who like to play!!!
Westville Community Nursery School (WCNS) has several openings for the upcoming school year (beginning in September). We have some Tuesday/Thursday spaces available as well as two part-day School Readiness grant spaces open for New Haven residents who meet state eligibility. A two day space is beneficial for young ones to acclimate to a new environment especially after their limitation in public settings since the pandemic. WCNS is a one room classroom with children of mixed ages (3-5). We at WCNS believe that children "learn to play and play to learn" at our preschool!
For more information, an application and/or a tour, please contact WCNS' director, Patty at 203-387-6660 or email: patty@wcnsplay2learn.org.
