Program

DPNS welcomes children between 2 and 4 years of age. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them. The nursery school program is designed to provide opportunities for the child's physical, emotional, social, perceptual and cognitive growth and development. The schedule is structured to provide the child with a discipline building routine, as well as free time that enables them to make choices.

DPNS offers a morning nursery program that runs from 8:45 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. from Monday to Friday. Our school is in operation from September through June and follows the public school holiday schedule.
