About Book Nook

As children enter grade school, they are faced with new challenges that are not often addressed in early childhood education. With an unclear transition between each grade level from nursery to preschool to grade-school, Book Nook was created to bridge the gap. Founded by an award winning Early Childhood Educator & Reading Specialist, Book Nook’s goal is to introduce the learning techniques and skill sets necessary for educational growth and success. Our serene learning atmosphere is paralleled with a whole child approach that innately allows the child to feel motivated the minute he/she steps foot into the space. Our students are grouped specifically within an appropriate age range to enable learning through peers and develop leadership skills. Book Nook provides essential skills that are seen on standardized tests, such as the gifted and talented tests, and similar tests needed for kindergarten acceptance. We also teach skills that are necessary during private school interviews and play-dates. Each level of our Hoots is specifically designed to challenge the appropriate age group. Every year the lessons get closer to mastering reading and obtaining proficient handwriting skills before entering Kindergarten.​
