Swan River Kinsmen Nursery School (SRKNS) is a non profit nursery school for children ages 3 and 4 years. We are an inclusive school, welcoming to students and families looking for a great start before kindergarten.
The 3 year old program runs from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm, Tuesday- Friday and the 4 year old program runs from 1:00 pm- 4:00 pm,
Tuesday - Friday.
School begins the 3rd week in September, closing for 2 weeks at the end of December, 1 week for Spring Break and finishing up the school year on the second week of June.
The School is licensed for 15 children per class with a cost of $10.40 per session and is staffed with a Director and a Child Care Assistant.
Every two years 5-6 parents volunteer as board members and meet monthly along side with the staff to make decisions for the upcoming year. Executive members consist of a president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary and fundraising chair.
The Swan River Kinsmen Nursery School was established in 1982. We are a not-for-profit, registered charity. We own the building that we operate out of.
Under the individual guidance of qualified educators, each child is provided with the opportunity to gather valuable information and to develop skills that will support this process of learning. The Nursery School program is designed to encourage a balance of child initiated and teacher facilitated activities; everything we do will develop the child’s confidence, self-esteem, sense of community, and leadership skills. The Nursery School strongly believes in providing children with a firm start to a lifetime of learning.
