The Buckley Country Day School Difference
Green Vale School
In these early years of growth and discovery, education takes on extraordinary significance. Green Vale's Early Childhood program (Pre-Nursery - Kindergarten) is centered around the belief that the seeds of a lifelong love for learning are sown during these early stages. It's during these years that children cultivate their curiosity, embrace creativity, and develop the foundational skills that will serve as the bedrock of their academic journey. Our dedicated faculty, nurturing environment, and comprehensive curriculum are all designed to provide a gateway to exploration, fostering critical social and emotional growth. Our early learners are immersed in a rich variety of programs, including Spanish, movement, STEAM, music, and more.
