sense of the world
and to value their individual place in it.

The success of Dover Nursery School comes from adhering to a set of beliefs that has remained consistent over the decades. Through our efforts and outlook, we believe that our students should:

  • feel safe and loved at DNS
  • find fun in their days
  • be given the experiences of cooperative play and friendships
  • be exposed to interesting and fun learning opportunities
  • participate in consistent routines in a school setting

We provide a safe physical and emotional setting for children to develop character, self-management, interdependence and intellectual curiosity. Differences and similarities are supported and celebrated. We design and deliver a curriculum that encourages children to try new things and to experience learning as an adventure.
