About Weekday Nursery

Cheverly Weekday Nursery offers developmentally appropriate activities and learning for children ages three to five. The program has been in serving the community and local families since 1970.

At Cheverly Weekday Nursery, we provide children with a place to grow outside the home, and help our students learn more about themselves in relation to other children, to adults other than the parents, and to the world around them. We strive to help children grow in the richest, most satisfying, most constructive way while preparing for the school years ahead. Learning is hands-on, and designed to develop independent thinking, self-sufficiency, social and emotional maturity, and readiness for kindergarten. Children enjoy multiple free-play areas (including water, sand, art, dramatic play, blocks, science, manipulative games and toys), story and music times, educational field trips, and more. In addition, children receive speech, language, vision and hearing screenings, personalized attention, and the opportunity to participate in annual Christmas and spring programs. Your child will be given the freedom to grow and learn in an environment balanced with enough guidance and structure for each child to feel secure.

About Mother's Day Out/Early School Program/Summerfun Program

Mother's Day Out and the Early School Program, started in 1977, offer a calm yet stimulating environment for early learning. We work to make your child's first steps from home to school a positive experience so that they will eagerly look forward to future school experiences.

Mother's Day Out, which meets Tuesdays 10:00am-2:00pm, focuses on expanding your child's knowledge and awareness of the world through stories, games, crafts and learning activities. Children in this program build self-esteem and security, develop appropriate interaction with other children, enhance large and small motor skills, learn to follow directions and become aware of their capabilities.

The Early School Program, which meets Thursdays, 10:00am 2:00pm, focuses on readiness skills. Curriculum for older students includes pre-reading, opposites, phonics, math and other age appropriate skills. Younger students focus on colors, shapes, rhymes and counting.

Mother's Day Out Summerfun program registration is now open! Eight sessions in July will explore an Olympics theme this summer. This program is for children ages two through six, and is held Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00am-1:00pm. Download the application here.
