ENROLLING FOR SEPTEMBER 2025 NOW!
Welcome to Seeds of Joy Christian Nursery School!
We believe children learn through playing; individually, collaboratively and in a safe, loving environment. Our students learn by exploring and experiencing many enriching educational activities daily, inside and outside of the classroom. Our teachers and assistant teachers observe, encourage and teach our students to develop their individual skills and creativity. We believe we are part of a child’s village with their caregivers to foster and support socialization.
Our school is an equal opportunity care provider and is a ministry of the First Presbyterian Church of Ambler, a place where lives are changed by Christ, and we live out our faith together. Our teachers and assistant teachers guide children while maintaining a warm, safe and inviting environment that demonstrates God’s love for them.
