School History & Organization ( Philosophy / Curriculum )

Huguenot Nursery School was founded in 1992 by Huguenot Memorial Church. Its purpose is to provide a quality nursery school program for Pelham and its surrounding communities.

Huguenot Nursery School is a private, non-profit preschool. The school is non-sectarian and we welcome families of all backgrounds and cultures. Huguenot Nursery School is licensed by the New York State office of Children and Family Services.

Huguenot Terrific Twos provides half-day programs for two year old children. Two year olds may enroll in the two day program or the three day program. The two year old programs have a maximum of 8 children, one qualified lead teacher and one assistant.

Huguenot Nursery School provides half day and full day programs for three and four year olds. Three year olds may enroll either two, three or five days a week, and four year olds attend five days a week. The three and four year old class has a maximum of 14 children, one qualified lead teacher and an assistant teacher.

Although the school welcomes all, priority will be given to members of Huguenot Memorial Church and siblings of children with prior attendance.

The school is governed by a Board of Managers, which includes the nursery school Director, the Minister, two members of the church’s governing Session, at least one other church member and at least two parents. Parents can become formally involved in Huguenot Nursery School by serving on the Parent’s Committee, which functions as a sub-committee of the Board of Managers.
