History and Philosophy
|
|
Magic Touch Nursery Preschool Center was established
in September, 1975. Mrs. Ramona D. Nichols, owner and director, has a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and
a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. The school is licensed by the Office for Child Care Services. Teachers have
degrees in Early Childhood Education as well as certification and adequate training experience in related fields.

We believe in the importance of preparing children
to get a good start in life toward their early learning experiences. We strive to help each child develop at his or her own
pace; to give children opporunities to discover and explore through play; to provide a nurturing and caring environment; to
mold the whole child socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually; and, to provide children with basic readiness
skills, such as number recognition and language development.

|

We offer a large outdoor play area for plenty of gross motor
activity.
|

We take several field trips every year as part of our philosophy
that emphasizes exploration and discovery. For more information, see our 'special events' page.
