GRANTVILLE NURSERY SCHOOL
The Grantville Nursery School, a mission of Faith United Church of
Christ, is now operating since 1974. The program provides the young
children of the community with the opportunity to learn about themselves,
other people and the world around them. The School also seeks to help
the children grow and develop in their relationships with others through
play, art, music, stories and conversations. While the program introduces
children to academics, the emphasis is on the development of confidence,
competence, cooperation, socialization, listening and self esteem.
Classes are offered to 3-4 year olds two days a week and 4-5 year olds
three days a week. Both morning and afternoon classes are available.

CHILDREN’S WHEELCHAIR DANCE WORKSHOP
The Children’s Wheelchair Dance Workshop teaches a variety of dance
forms to children with disabilities. Each child is paired with an assistant
and together a whole new kind of dance is created. This program has
been extremely successful and children return year after year to participate.
The Children’s Wheelchair Dance Workshop is a great opportunity
for children to enjoy a leisure activity that they might never have thought
possible.
Dancing is a great way for the children to express themselves artistically,
gain confidence, exercise and socialize with other children in chairs.
The Wheelchair Dancers meet on Friday nights from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00
p.m. at the East Hanover Township Building in Grantville. Classes are
held weekly from September through July, with the dancers performing
in the Celebration of Children, a variety show held at the Forum.
The Celebration of Children is sponsored by PECAN, Inc. For more
information about the Children’s Wheelchair Workshop, please contact
