Gaul's Nursery & Arts Centre is a family owned and operated child care center since 1980.
Gaul's Nursery & Arts Centre is a family owned and operated child care center accepting students from 2 years old through Kindergarten. We are located in Maple Shade,
New Jersey and have been serving the Southern New Jersey communities of Camden and Burlington Counties since 1980. Our Programs are designed to provide the child with
a loving, happy atmosphere in which they can grow and develop, feeling good about themselves and school. Here is a brief description of our general schedules for
our groups:
MUSIC Children enjoy a variety of music, e.g. Farmer in the Dell, Hokey Pokey, counting, alphabet & marching songs. Music & movement is an essential part of
our program, which include lessons in movement, dance, rhythm instruments and exercises. We play instruments in our own make believe band, which includes a conductor.
READINESS Small group time is set aside each day to prepare our PreKindergarten children for the more structured requirements of a Kindergarten program. Making
use of our Circle Time we meet in the Kindergarten classroom, in small groups, to work on a lesson pertaining to the current Unit of Study or to practice a
basic skill such as cutting, the alphabet and printing.
CIRCLE TIME During this time we study a particular unit, such as plants, learn about holidays, do rhymes and finger plays, discuss the weather and seasons,
and learn about community helpers, such as dentists, police officers and firefighters.
PROJECT TIME The children do their arts & crafts (painting, drawing, cutting & pasting) to take home. Such projects fit in with the unit being taught that week.
COOKING The children (once a week) make foods, such as egg salad, pizza, milk shakes, and eat the results.
STORY & SNACK During this time children listen to a story read by their teacher while enjoying a snack, which we provide, in the morning and afternoon.
SOCIALIZED PLAY The children learn how to cooperate, share, take turns and absorb social skills that provide the basis for important interactions.
OUTDOOR PLAY Children work all those growing muscles as they run, climb and ride their way around our spacious, cheerful, enclosed playground.
NAP & MOVIE TIME A cozy cot combined with a favorite pillow and blanket from home provide the perfect setting for a peaceful nap. Add a few G-rated video/CD’s
and our non-sleepers enjoy a contented quiet time.
The activity, in which a group is engaged, is always age appropriate. There are times however when all the students are brought together to participate in an
activity such as Music, Socialized Play or a special Event.
