Sunset Nursery School Montrose is a Christian based program that accommodates children between the ages of two through five years. The mission of Sunset is to provide enriching educational opportunities in a safe, nurturing environment. The philosophy of Sunset is based on the belief that children are unique learners. We place a strong emphasis on supporting each child's God-given talents and individual needs.
All of our teachers have an early childhood degree or certification and we take pride in our small teacher/student ratios. With our individual classrooms and a large main room featuring five play based centers, children learn to work in small and large groups with many different materials. We have a strong curriculum and we recognize and respect the fact that children come to school with different backgrounds and interests. Therefore, each year we will adjust our curriculum to meet the needs and dynamics of the children, making learning fun and interesting. We incorporate community visitors, readers, cooks and crafters, as well as Go No Sen Kinder Kicks Karate in the winter months, at no additional charge to the parents. We are always happy to have special visitors, and have an "open door" policy for parents to join us any time they would like to. A child should always look forward to going to pre-school with confidence, excitement and anticipation for what the day will bring.

May 9, 2018 at 11:12 amThis school is beyond amazing. My oldest son currently attends and I will be sending my youngest in the fall. They were so comforting to myself and my child. My child had an extremely hard time adjusting to being at school versus home, and they went above and beyond my expectations to make sure he was okay. I will truly be sad when it comes time to leave. Everyone is well educated when it comes to having a child with special needs. That is a very rare find!!!

May 11, 2018 at 8:52 amSunset is everything a nursery school should be: a warm, nurturing and safe environment with a highly skilled staff that has an intent focus on providing a top notch education in a fun, approachable way. My daughter gets upset on the weekends, as Sunset is her favorite place to be!

May 24, 2018 at 8:57 pmAside from the fact I love that Sunset is a church owned and Christian operated school. The director Melissa is beyond amazing. She puts every ounce of her heart and soul into each and every individual child. She goes above and beyond for special needs children making sure they receive all the services they need while providing them with the opportunity to stay mainstreamed. The well educated and loving teachers are as well far above par. Sunset is more than a nursery school, it’s a second home for these children. They learn while having fun. There is no better place to send your child.

May 25, 2018 at 9:45 amSunset Nursery has helped both of my children in ways I cannot express. The teachers, teacher assistants & director are all amazing, compassionate and patient educators. They quickly identified areas my son was struggling in and helped me get him the proper support (through letters, half hour long phone calls, CPSE meetings, etc). I accidentally stumbled onto Sunset two years ago when looking for a place for my highly active two year old and this school was a Godsend. I cannot thank the director, teachers and teacher assistants enough for all their help.

May 25, 2018 at 7:17 pmTucked away on a quiet wooded street in Montrose New York is this sweet little Gem Called Sunset Nursery School. If you are looking for a sweet fun filled and nurturing environment for your children this is it. I currently have 3 children enrolled here and a fourth will be joining next year. The teachers are Wonderful!!! They are so kind and loving and genuinely engage with each and every child. The Director Melissa Wassil knows every single student by name and participates in daily circle time and welcomes Everyone to school every morning. My daughters absolutely adore Sunset. A parent couldn’t ask for more.

May 30, 2018 at 8:42 amSunset Nursery School is an outstanding community asset. We previously had our son in a reputable local childcare center. We wanted more seasoned professionals to work with and were absolutely delighted when we found Sunset. Our son had early intervention services and Melissa Wassil was an advocate to get our son everything needed. We were fortunate to have received all the help we did due to Melissa and the wonderful teachers. Our daughter now attends Sunset also. Both my kids love it. They get up in the morning asking if they are going to school. We are forever grateful to everyone at Sunset for giving our kids the foundation to love education.
