I can’t even begin to express the impact everyone at Nature Scholars has had on our family. We waited a long time to get in, and it was absolutely worth every minute. Even though we ended up moving shortly after and had to transition our kids, I can say without hesitation that the staff at Nature Scholars truly care about what they do. It shows in every interaction, every day. They will always hold a special place in our hearts, and I’m forever grateful that our kids had the chance to experience the love, learning, and care that Nature Scholars provides.
Autumn ScanlanApr 18, 2026We have been with this daycare for over 7 years, and trusting them with our four children has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The owners are truly exceptional—kind, professional, and deeply invested in what they do. You can tell they genuinely care about every single child. The staff is just as incredible: friendly, attentive, and always creating a positive, nurturing environment. What really sets them apart is the effort they put in year after year. They are constantly improving, investing back into their program, and going above and beyond with activities and field trips that most daycares wouldn’t even consider. Our kids are not just cared for—they are engaged, learning, and genuinely happy. They have become like family to us. They are smart, reasonable, and truly dedicated to the children they care for. Honestly, they are a big part of the reason we haven’t moved—we simply wouldn’t want to leave them. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
GregoriaApr 9, 2026First time mom-to-be and polled my town’s Facebook page for the best daycare and this was the overwhelming recommendation! After looking through the website and speaking to one of the owners, Renee, even just the initial conversations and intake have been the loveliest experience. As a family of outdoors-people, we are so excited to get our little one into Nature’s Scholars and are so grateful for the time and care Renee took to talk to us today. We had no idea what to expect in the world of daycares and care plans and just feel so much comfort & excitement after speaking with Nature’s Scholars - and the proof is in how vocal this town is that they are tried & true and the most loved. Thank you! 💗
Haley BlainDec 11, 2024Long overdue but this school is absolutely amazing. The entire staff from the owner, front office and teachers are wonderful. I am so glad my son had this school as his preschool. The environment is amazing and it truly is a special place.
JulieDec 10, 2024Amazing place for your children with some of the most amazing teachers. They help your children appreciate the outdoors, and just being children.
Eric LudlowJan 4, 2024I cannot say enough about Nature's Scholars. The quality of the education, standard of care, and level of compassion that our children have received since their first enrollment two years ago is unparalleled to any other child care provider that I have encountered. To say that the center's curriculum is enriching is an understatement, though all four of our children are smart, they are more well-rounded because of the natural components of the education and activities provided by NSEC. Thank you so much for everything - we truly could not be happier.
