The Nook on Valley Circle
The Nook has expanded!
 
Our Infant & Toddler Center opened its doors last April to a capacity of 24 children and last week we were officially licensed to expand to accommodate an additional 31 children for a total of 55 infant and toddlers, ages 6 weeks-36 months.

Here at The Nook we strive to develop children’s love of the outdoors and encourage them to find joy and curiosity in nature. Playing in the rain not only promotes children’s sense of wonder and freedom, it also benefits their development and learning. This week we took full advantage of the rain and puddles provided by Tuesday's downpour.

We look forward to more fun weather opportunities to come, and to welcoming new families to our growing community, so please spread the word! For more information or to schedule a tour, call Eliza Enbom at 818-854-7690 or email her at eenbom@stsonline.org.
