The ANS curriculum is centered around the needs and interests of each child and the group. We value each child and nurture her/his emotional, social, physical and intellectual development. In addition to the regular daily schedule, we go on monthly field trips and we hold special events throughout the school year to celebrate the diversity of our community and offer children and staff a deeper understanding and appreciation of our varying cultures and experiences.

We celebrate, in simple ways, various special occasions: children's birthdays, Halloween, Days of the Dead, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, Martin Luther King's Birthday. Whenever possible, we will inform parents in advance of these special events. In addition, if parents would like to share a holiday or tradition, they can plan this with the teachers.
