ENRICHING EXPERIENCES
Switch-a-Roomie
Each month, students in our three-year-old and four-year-old preschool programs have a chance to "switch-a-roomie" and travel to each classroom in our school, learning new skills from each of our teachers. Students not only learn important age-appropriate skills but have an opportunity to interact with students and teachers outside of their classroom, helping to build our Weekday community.
Spanish with Mrs. Kieley
Learning another language in early childhood provides children with more than just new vocabulary. Experiencing a second language, like Spanish, promotes cognitive development, cultural sensitivity, and communication skills. Using fun and interactive methods, students are introduced to basic Spanish concepts.
Feelings and Friendship with Mrs. Bausher
Preschoolers may be small in stature, but are dealing with some big feelings. Students learn to identify a wide range of emotions, build coping skills, and explore the world around them.
Yoga with Mrs. Layden
In Yoga we stretch our minds and our bodies to find our inner peace. We have fun with thematic songs and stories while we move our bodies. Our breath work carries with us throughout our classwork and our lives outside of preschool.
Group Games with Mrs. Benson
Group Games encourages teamwork through play. Kids will develop gross motor skills, coordination, patience, and listening skills all while having fun with their friends.
Lunch Bunch
Students in our three-year-old and four-year-old classes have the option to bring lunch and stay for 1 additional hour for more playground fun, a chance to build community among peers, and another opportunity to foster independence. Lunch Bunch is held twice weekly and families have the option to sign up via SignUpGenius on the schedule that works best for their student.
Special Events & Activities
Mad Science
Our friends at Mad Science in New Jersey visit us each for a special assembly for our 4-year-old preschool students. More than just a fun break from normal classroom routines, students have a chance to engage with science in an exciting and hands-on format. This year students experimented with dry ice!
Critter Connections
We are always thrilled to welcome Critter Connections and their collection of animal friends! Each year, our 3-year-old students get a hands-on presentation about corn snakes, tortoises, rabbits, and everything in between.
Fire House Visit​
An up close look at a firetruck and the fire department!
Each year, Weekday students learn all about fire prevention and safety during Fire Prevention Week. The highlight of our week is always a visit from our local Morrisville fire truck for our 3-year-old preschool students and a walking field trip to Morrisville Fire House for our 4-year-old students.
Caterpillar Hatching
​Weekday students get the chance to watch science in action each year with our caterpillar hatching program. A favorite of our spring projects, our preschool students learn about the life cycle of caterpillars and watch as they turn into beautiful butterflies.
Once the butterflies are hatched and wings are dry, we release them as a class. Keep an eye out because one you see might be one we set free!
Quiver Farms Chick Hatching
It's not officially Spring at Weekday until our chick eggs are in the classroom! Each year, our classrooms play host to chicken eggs in an incubator. Our students have the chance to watch the hatching process right in their classrooms and hold a baby chick.
​
Mrs. Bausher shares the work that goes into caring for chickens and this year brought in a chicken of her own named Chicken Nugget!
Community Building
Annual Pajama Collection
Weekday Nursery School is dedicated to making a difference that starts in the preschool classroom and carries out into the community. Each year our generous families donate pajamas on our Giving Tree which are then donated Ivin's Outreach Center, a local Morrisville non-profit organization.
Annual Food Drive
As part of the Morrisville Presbyterian Church, we are grateful for the opportunity to show our preschool students what it means to be part of a community beyond our classrooms. We are so thankful to our families for their generosity each year to help assist in filling the Morrisville Presbyterian Church food pantry with our annual drive.
Field Trips
Howell Living History Farm
​Our four-year-old students have the opportunity to learn about life on the farm at Howell Living History Farm. Each year, our students are introduced to the history of farming, explore the farm, see how animals are cared for, and experience farm chores first-hand.
Silver Lake Nature Center​
Bugs, turtles, snakes oh my… Our three-year-old class learns all about different animal habitats on their field trip to Silver Lake Nature Center. While investigating some of these habitats they search for bugs and have the opportunity to do a pond study.
