New Name, Same Care.
Introducing Caring Branches Early Care & Education Center, previously known as St. Paul’s Nursery School. For 40+ years, we have served the community to ensure we provide your children with the best early education and care experience possible. Under a new name, the same director, teachers and philosophy —
we will continue to do just that.
A passion for learning
Our school uses the Creative Curriculum for Preschool ©, an award-winning, fully accredited curriculum aligned with Pennsylvania early learning standards that enables children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.
18 Months – 2 Years Old
Play and fun are the main emphasis of the day for our active 18-month and 2-year-olds at Caring Branches. A typical day includes helping the child adjust to separation from parents, indoor and outdoor play, songs and movement to music, short story times and creative artwork.
Our curriculum incorporates activities that help children develop social-emotional skills, such as regulating their own emotions and behaviors, forming relationships with adults and peers, participating cooperatively in a group, developing physical, language, and cognitive skills and building ability in language, literacy, mathematics, and science.
Preschool (Ages 3, 4, 5)
Our preschool program is more structured with varying active and quiet times to help each child grow in every way. Daily activities include indoor and outdoor play, stories and language development, music, art, social studies, mathematics and science.
Pre-school learning is age-appropriate and tailored to meet the needs of the individual child and/or group. If a child is willing and able to pursue more preparation for the future, teachers will modify and individualize the lessons to allow the child to reach his or her personal goals.
