Fishkill Baptist Nursery School

Founded in 1983, Fishkill Baptist Nursery School is dedicated to providing a nurturing, God-centered learning environment for the preschool-aged children of Dutchess County. Small class size, structured daily routine and a creative hands-on curriculum enables your child to discover and explore the world around them. Language development and focus on socialization will encourage sharing, taking turns and cooperation. Fantastic 4 Year Olds: This class is geared towards preparing your child for Kindergarten by teaching them the needed skills. Socialization skills are strengthened as the children are encouraged to cooperate with their peers by sharing, taking turns and following directions. The program is enhanced with music class, literature-based cooking and many field trips.

**Our Unique** Bridge to Kindergarten Program The Bridge program is uniquely designed to serve the needs of children who are 5 in September, October and November. The gift of an extra year before entering Kindergarten greatly enhances the potential success throughout school. What the parents have to say......

"I loved FBNS! I searched long and hard for the perfect place and have never once been disappointed. The student teacher ratio and the teachers were extremely impressive. It was simply a safe, clean and delightful place for my children to learn, socialize and be nurtured. Many of our children's fondest memories were born there. I truly believe it is the best nursery school I know of!" Eileen D. "The Bridge program gives a child an advantage of one year to grow academically, emotionally and socially. It's a gift of one year which pays off later on in life." Glenda B. " Our son benefited from attending the Bridge program. In having had this gift of an additional and rewarding year, he is so confident now and is absolutely thriving as a student!" William S. " Our family has been so pleased with all of the programs and our children have loved it! The teachers do a wonderful job celebrating each child in such a way that they indeed know that they are special!" Eileen S. Just a Glimpse:
