Nursery
Our Nursery Program
For Ages: 3 to 4 Years
As your child’s world expands, so does their curiosity! The Giggleverse Nursery program is designed for these budding explorers who are beginning to ask “why?” and are eager to make sense of the world around them.
Building on the social and sensory foundations of Playgroup, our Nursery curriculum introduces more structure through playful, thematic activities. We channel your child’s boundless energy into a journey of discovery, where they develop confidence, independence, and a genuine love for learning. Here, we transition from parallel play to collaborative adventures, turning “my world” into “our world.”
