The Hanna Fenichel Center for Child Development is a non-profit organization affiliated with The San Diego Psychoanalytic Center. Our nursery school programs (ages 18 months to pre-kindergarten) are designed to support the emotional, social, physical and cognitive growth of children. The learning environment is informed by current theories of child development, including Reggio Emilia. Beginning with the first moment of separation and experience in the world outside of home, the school provides a secure child-centered environment that fosters self-confidence and self-esteem.
