About Us

Pre-School Teacher Reads Book To Class

Established in 1964, Chenango Valley Nursery School (CVNS) is located in the Chenango Bridge neighborhood of Binghamton, NY. We provide programs for children from 18 months to 5 years of age and offer a flexible time schedule with morning and afternoon classes available. Our experienced teachers encourage connection and involvement by parents through daily contact.

​

Philosophy

The philosophy of the Chenango Valley Nursery School program is to help each child develop to their full potential socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Pre-school children learn through active, hands-on purposeful play. Guided by knowledgeable teachers, the child will learn by “doing.” They are active learners who gain knowledge by acting directly on and with concrete objects. Through these actions they can draw conclusions about their world.

​

Chenango Valley Nursery School believes...

A positive self-concept develops in children who can fulfill their goals, accomplish tasks on their own, and cooperate with others and receive positive feelings from others. Self-disciplined children can direct their efforts towards fulfillment of their goals. Children learn self-discipline through understanding, commitment, and reinforcement. Self-reliance is achieved by allowing children to do as many things for themselves as they are capable of but keeping in mind new skills.

 

We know that choosing the right program for your child can be challenging.

 

Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask if you need help making the most appropriate placement for your child. Every attempt will be made to honor each parent’s request for placement in a specific class. Please see our Programs for more information. Students will be given the opportunity to meet their teacher and see their classroom before school begins. Tours are provided by appointment only.
