The Westminster Nursery School Times

Welcome Back!

The Nursery School staff wishes each of you a Happy New Year!

What better way to launch a new year than by blasting off into space via our unit on the solar system. We all look forward to this time of year when once again we begin learning about the sun and the planets. This unit captures young imaginations like no other and the fours really look forward to that special trip to the planetarium at Raritan Valley Community College on January 8th.

January isn’t just about space. It’s about snow as well. All of the classes will make snowmen, snowflakes, icicles, mittens, and hats. It’s the time of the year to be inside our classrooms looking through our large windows to see snowflakes gently falling, wind blowing the clouds around, and squirrels only venturing out in a hurry to pick up that one last acorn for their nest. We look forward with your children to a snug, cozy, fun-filled, exciting time at school.

Inclement Weather School Closings Delays

As a reminder, Westminster Nursery School follows the Berkeley Heights Public Schools when dealing with inclement weather closings and delays. Should the Berkeley Heights Public Schools close, Nursery School will be closed. Should the Berkeley Heights Public Schools have a delayed opening, Nursery School will have a delayed opening. For Nursery School, a delayed opening means morning sessions will run from 10:00 AM – 12:00 noon. Emails are sent early in the morning (between 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM).
