About Five Mile River Nursery School
The Five Mile River Nursery School is proud to be one of the first nationally accredited preschools in Connecticut and one of the first 17 in the nation. At Five Mile River Nursery School, we offer children the opportunity to learn and grow in a warm and nurturing environment. Our programs, which include 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, and Kindergarten, are based on the Bank Street Method, Creative Curriculum, and Emerging Curriculum, and allow children to explore and develop their own creativity and curiosity. In addition to our regular programs, we also offer extended day enrichment and Summer Camp programs, providing children with a range of activities to foster their self-confidence, curiosity, and love of learning.

Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a time of change, challenge, and opportunity. At FMRNS our teachers are responsive to the developmental, individual, and cultural needs of each child. Kindergarteners are able to make great intellectual leaps and they go through major shifts allowing them to show more personal responsibility, self-direction, and logical thinking.
Kindergartners' growth affects development physically, socially, cognitively, and linguistically. A positive, challenging and engaging Kindergarten experience can shape a child's overall outlook on and engagement in lifelong learning.
