The American Schoolhouse
In the early United States, the majority of students did not receive their education in the large, industrial institutions of today, but rather in small schoolhouses with one to two rooms situated within a community.
The beauty of the "one-room schoolhouse" was not only in the inherent closeness that existed between educators, students, and the community, but also in its practicability as a vehicle to transition individuals, many of which were children, from the comfort of the home to the nurturing spirit of a school environment.
One of the hallmarks of In Nurturing Hands School is our preservation of the schoolhouse setting in homage to the early schools of America. At our school, we strive to create a nurturing atmosphere where students feel safe to make-mistakes, learn, and grow as individuals. We honor the schoolhouse tradition by offering small class sizes and mixed-age education to students in preschool through kindergarten.
