About Us

Immanuel Lutheran Nursery School is a non-profit organization founded in September 1972, and sponsored by Immanuel Lutheran Church. Immanuel Lutheran Nursery School is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

We welcome your inquiries at any time and encourage your interest. When in session, Immanuel Lutheran Nursery School is open to visitors by appointment. While you may “walk in” at any time, an appointment is necessary for a prolonged observation so that the teachers or director may help you with your questions and discuss the school’s policies. Once your child is enrolled, you may visit at any time your child is here without advance notice.

The Nursery School is a self supporting ministry of Immanuel Lutheran Church, provided to serve members in furthering the overall development of their children, to serve non-members in a like manner and to serve the community in its need for quality early childhood care and education.It is an integral part of the Church’s ministry to the local community. Those associated with the Nursery School,whether as staff, parents or friends, are considered a part of the larger Church family to the extent that they wish to be involved. The Nursery School provides both opportunities for greater involvement in Church life to parents and friends of the Nursery School in support of the Church’s outreach to the community and information about its program to the Church in the form of an annual report and articles in the newsletter.

The Nursery School staff upholds Christian attitudes in their teaching and relating to the children. Christian concepts are modeled through music, prayers at snack and mealtimes, celebrations of the religious as well as secular aspects of the holidays and monthly Chapel Times led by the pastor. One of the Nursery School’s primary objectives is to provide a loving and nurturing environment for children to learn respect and care for themselves and others without regard to nationality, gender, race, religious or ethnic background.The Nursery School does not provide formal religious education, but we believe that fostering these values is Christian Education in its broadest sense.

The purposes of Immanuel Lutheran Nursery School are:

to maintain a safe, nurturing environment where all children have their needs met in a developmentally appropriate manner.

to provide opportunities for infants, toddlers and preschoolers to explore and expand their environment while receiving high quality care and education in a Christian setting.

to help each child develop positive attitudes towards educational fulfillment.

to reinforce the home influence by providing organized programs, play materials and guidance aimed to encourage healthy growth and development mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially.

to help each child realize his fullest capabilities for growth and development.

to help children adapt to group living by teaching them to share materials, space and attention.

to stimulate learning through love, curiosity, language skills and to encourage their desire to discover and explore for themselves.to base our curriculum on individual abilities and differences.
