Freedom Plains Nursery School
A Development Readiness Program
Our Freedom Plains Church Nursery School is a developmental readiness program guiding and encouraging each child in their social, physical, emotional and cognitive growth. The children learn by “doing” and having first hand experiences in all of the above areas. We provide a quality nursery school experience in warm, safe environment where each child feels comfortable and confident. We currently offer 2 days per week or 3 days per week morning programs for 3-year-olds and 3 days per week or 4 days per week programs for 4-year-olds.

My name is Kelly Burghardt (Ms. Kelly) and I absolutely love teaching four year olds. I received my degree in Early Childhood Education and have been teaching pre-k for 28 years. I have been at Freedom Plains for the last 12 years. Coming to Freedom Plains was a full circle moment as my oldest daughter attended both the three and four year old program here. It has been an honor and a privilege to work with children and their families over the course of my career. My personal philosophy is aligned with the school's mission statement.
I grew up locally in Hyde Park, NY where I went on to marry my high school sweet heart. We just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We have two beautiful daughters - Jillian (23) and Madison (almost 19) and a sweet Maltipoo named Tucker.
In my spare time I love reading, gardening, traveling, beach days a good wine tasting and spending time with family and friends.
