Pleasantville Hill Nursery School is located at the Emanuel Lutheran Church. The nursery school staggers its hours, so that two-year-olds attend for 2.5 hours either two or three days a week; three-year-olds can attend either four mornings a week or three afternoons a week; and four-year-olds can either attend four-hour sessions five mornings a week or four two-hour afternoon sessions.
Its philosophy can be summed up by the saying on the bulletin board in the hallway, which is decorated with children's artwork: "All students are gifted. Some just open their packages earlier than others."
Founded in 1972, Pleasantville Children's Center has created a nurturing environment for preschoolers throughout the community for almost four decades. The fundamental philosophy at Pleasantville Children's Center continues to be: early childhood growth through a planned curriculum emphasizing discovery, self-expression and problem solving with the goal of building a life-long enjoyment of learning.
PCC ensures that children will enhance friendships and community connections through its programs. It offers programs for two, three and four year olds. To register for the program, children should turn that age by December 1st.
Great Beginnings Pre-school, a non-denominational Christian program, sponsored by the Pleasantville Presbyterian Church has been in continuous operation since 1977. It welcomes older twos, threes, and fours into its morning classes. Families may choose from 2, 3, or 4 day programs.
The planned but flexible developmentally based program is designed to encourage the social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth of each child and to provide the skills needed to become a successful learner.
