Dear Early Childhood Families,
We are thrilled to welcome your children to Green Vale in September.. The relationship between teacher and child is the foundation of our early childhood program and our faculty of experienced and enthusiastic teachers are ready to welcome your children to their classrooms. In the beginning of the school year our teachers pay special attention to helping children feel safe and welcomed as they get to know each child and family. We are committed to supporting the whole child, which includes the social, emotional and cognitive skills so critical to a child’s development.
The Early Childhood orientation, adjustment schedules and small groups allow children time to adjust and help teachers form a relationship with each child that will only strengthen during the year. (Below please see a list of important dates).

Staggered (end of day) schedules for Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Pre-K, and Kindergarten will be implemented for the first week of school. Please note, a staggered schedule for Pre-Nursery will be implemented for the first two weeks of school. These shortened days are intentional. Young children need this time to help them feel comfortable in their new space and new relationships.
