Welcome

St. Stephen's Nursery School, established in 1976, is a ministry of the Lutheran Church of St. Stephen, Hicksville, New York.  Our mission is to provide a caring, Christian education to  2, 3, and 4 year olds in a healthy, safe, and creative environment.

Our philosophy is to satisfy the needs of the children by offering a well-rounded education that embodies and integrates our Christian beliefs.  We provide the climate, materials and motivation to aid the child in developing a sense of what the child, the child's world and their God are like, as well as the structure to challenge them and provide a stable, yet varied environment at an age appropriate level. The curriculum is divided into four units - Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.  Each unit includes books, music, arts and crafts, math activities, language activities, social studies, science and creative play experiences as well as field trips for age appropriate levels.  All possible facilities and resources are used to aid in the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritutal growth of the children.
