Question 1

Answer 1
I love AWNS! The program for each year has been appropriate for my child's age and level of development. The teachers have been great with the chiuldren, and the staff has always been kind and helpful to my needs. Thank you!
Question 2

Answer 2
It's not often in life that you come across an entity that is truly great - a means by which all others (of its kind) - should be measured..... We have that very thing in AMBLER WEEKDAY NURSERY SCHOOL! Our family has relocated 5 times in our 14 years of marriage. Each of our three children has been born in a different state, and we have been exposed to 5 different nursery school environments. All of them nice, but none of them compare to the loving, caring, nurturing environment of Ambler Weekday Nursery School. The teachers and staff are there, not because they don't know where else to go; but because they want to teach our children! They are gifted with patience, kindness and best of all - boundless energy. Our school is impeccably clean and full of colorful reminders that our little ones enjoy each day's gift at AWNS. Thank you First Presbyterian Church of Ambler for making our children's education and well-being, a long standing-mission.
Question 3

Answer 3
My children have had wonderful experiences at AWNS. The environment is very nuturing, creative and one that fosters learning. I feel lucky that I discovered AWNS for my two younger sons. I wish I had known about it for my oldest son too.
Question 4

Answer 4
I would like to take a moment to comment about your programs and how they have impacted my four children. This is simply because of your fabulous staff. Everyone is inviting and patient.....a challenge met, for sure. Your program has touched each of my children in a different way. They have been able to blossom in their own time and have come out of AWNS finer and fuller children. Your program, then, has helped my husband and I create the environment where a good family can thrive with the help of the community.
Question 5

Answer 5
My older daughter, Karolina Kolar, attended Mrs. Pickell's class last year and she loved every minute of it. I was extremely happy with the way Mrs. Pickell treated each child and how much they learned and grew.
Question 6

Answer 6
Choosing AWNS for our children is one of the smartest decisions we've made for our girls. The school strikes that perfect balance of pre-school fun and spontaniety with gentle lessons of independence and responsibility. Our daughters have begun their educational lives with a true enthusiasm for learning and a greater understanding of who they are. We are indebted to Ambler Weekday for giving them the opportunity to grow in this special way.
Question 7

Answer 7
Greetings! Each Christmas season we have an opportunity to provide support for the Ambler Weekday Nursery School through our Christmas Eve offering. The money collected goes directly into the school's scholarship fund that this year provided some tuition reimbursement for 24 children. While this is the third year that I have had the privlege to tell you something about Ambler Weekday, the school has actually been telling its own story for over forty years through its nurturing of children from our congregation as well as those from the surrounding community. From its inception in 1965, the school has been a mission of the First Presbyterian Church of Ambler - in other words, the school is us. Last week, I spent time at the nursery school and I want to share with you just a bit of that experience. At a time when many children are being pushed to achieve so much academically and socially at such a young age, it was a pleasure for a couple of hours to be a part of a community with balance, with perspective. Don't misunderstand, there was a great deal of learning and teaching going on but it occurred within a context that allowed the children to construct much of their own knowledge through play and community building as well as through more structured lessons. When I arrived in the classroom, the children were painting in the letters and numbers that formed Happy 2008. The children had the freedom to paint in their own style within those lines - any colors and any designs. Children who finished their letters or numbers quickly, immediately started to help another child and soon six children were collaborating on the number 2. Following some free time in which puzzles were completed, costumes were donned, and dance moves were created, the children reviewed letters and while this exercise is guided by the teacher, each child had the opportunity to intorduce a letter, the associated sound and a word. In the process, Issac discovered that if he turned his upper case H on its side, he had the first letter of his name and soon Ns became Zs and Ss became race tracks. Finally, the children each took a set of colored bells and played three Christmas carols with great exuberance and joy. In the short time I spent in the Pre-K classroom, children learned that freedom often occurs within boundaries, collaboration can be both fun and efficient, letters and sounds can be understood in all sorts of creative ways, we all need a little music in our lives, and every now and the, we all need a break to just play. I observed rich examples of teaching and learning where children were give an oppurtunity to give birth to their own ideas in an environment that was safe and supportive as well as instructive. The children's experience reinforced my belief that while what you learn is important, how you learn and how much you are encouraged to infuse yourwelf into that learning is critical. Everyone - the teachers, the children and the guest were engaged.
