Our Philosophy
Cambridge Nursery School was founded in 1923 by noted educator Abigail Eliot who believed in "children's imagination, and in giving children a chance to do the things which they naturally do and to grow at their own pace." She was guided by the belief that young children learn much of what they need to know through play.
As one of the oldest parent cooperative preschool programs, Cambridge Nursery School continues to provide a rich play environment in a warm, nurturing atmosphere. At the beginning of the school year, our focus is on easing the transition from home to school. As children become sure of themselves and comfortable with others, they will confidently explore the world around them. We help children express their own needs and feelings and, at the same time, teach them to listen to and respect the needs and feelings of others.
Four highly experienced and professional teachers are committed to our goals of fostering curiosity, independence, and creativity. The teachers work together with parents to nurture and engage children, build their self-confidence, and provide a positive first school experience in which all children can thrive.
CNS also believes in supporting the whole family. Life can be unpredictable - even more so when small children are involved. As such, we pride ourselves on our flexibility in scheduling, meeting your child's unique needs, and helping out if unexpected needs arise.
