Our home/school communication of Daily Challenges and Weekly Newsletters will continue through the end of the school year.

Please see the statement below regarding tuition.  All questions will be addressed by calling the office or emailing us at Nurseryschool@stjbabylon.org
Registration for September is active and ongoing. If you know of anyone that is interested in our program, please have them call or emial us.

As always, we continue to pray for all of our Nursery School families during this time.

 Dear Families,
St. Joseph’s Nursery School staff is praying that you and your families have remained healthy through this historic pandemic.  Our greatest concern is the health of all of our students and families.   We greatly appreciate all of our parents who are First Responders, hospital personnel and all those that help with daily living. We realize how difficult this adjustment must be for everyone, especially for our young students who have no understanding of what is going on around them.  We pray for everyone’s safety and wellbeing.                                              

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, at this time, we are unable to open school and instruct our students in person.  The teachers and staff at St. Joseph’s Nursery School have been working diligently to keep your children engaged in school activities while home with you. Our Daily Challenges and our weekly newsletters contain many activities, academic review, songs and links to books.  If you have not requested our newsletter, please email us at    Ms.Assante@gmail.com

We understand priorities have changed in everyone’s life.  As you know, St. Joseph’s Nursery School is a non-profit organization which relies on your tuition payments to meet our financial obligations. To be able to accomplish this, we ask all our families to please be sure you have made your tuition payments for September through March, a total of 7 payments.  We ask that you consider making the remaining payments as a donation to the school.

Many of you may have either paid in full or paid more than 7 payments, we ask if you would consider donating any or all of this prepaid tuition.  Together we can offset the losses we are experiencing as a non-profit nursery school.   If St. Joseph’s Nursery School has made a difference in your child’s life, we ask if you would consider making this donation to help us preserve the standard of education we have been providing to children for decades. No tuition adjustments will be made until we are back in the office.

We want to reassure our returning families that your child’s placement is secure for our coming school year.  You have all received your placement letters with your tuition schedule.  Some of you have made your payment in full with a 5% discount (which is still available) and others have chosen to pay according to our payment schedule.  It will be very important this year to make these payments on a timely basis. 
Our office is set up to receive our emails from home, to check our phone messages and to receive our mail. If you are experiencing difficulty due to this historic pandemic, please contact the nursery school at nurseryschool@stjbabylon.org

God Bless you,
