  • I’ve been taking my grandchildren here for over 6/7 :) years and cannot say enough good things! The staff is incredible—caring, positive role models who truly love what they do. The creative play, early learning activities, and kindergarten preparation are exceptional.

  • Our time at Ravinia Nursery School was the biggest blessing to our family. We moved to the area and sight unseen enrolled our youngest in the 2's program. We spent the next 3 years falling in love with the community and the school. The staff and other parents were so welcoming and our daughter grew so much in her time there. She hit the ground running in Kindergarten! I can't imagine a better preschool choice for our family. RNS is a special place.

  • RNS has been such a blessing to our family this year. My son just transferred to RNS for his last year of Pre-K and completely BLOSSOMED this year, thanks to the loving staff members, kind group of kids, and the age appropriate play-based curriculum. He is a child that was right on the cut off date and I was debating if I should even send him. Now I see that being here has helped him develop a solid foundation of social skills, fostered in him a love of learning and gave him the confidence he needs to try new things. The amazing families and the community that I found here was also an unexpected gift! I could not recommend this magical place enough.

  • We have absolutely loved the last three years at Ravinia Nursery School. My son has made so many friends and I know he will be amply prepared for starting kindergarten next fall. My younger son just started and is already doing great! The teachers are incredible - warm, engaging, and so committed to providing a quality preschool education. I can’t say enough about how positive our experience has been.

  • Ravinia Nursery School has the most warm and friendly environment - the teachers and the school. My daughter is THRIVING at school and loves going each day. The teachers and parents have become friends, which makes it feel like family. If you are looking for a nursery school that focuses on learning through play, look no further! I just love this little blue school :)

  • Ravinia Nursery School has been one of the greatest blessings in our family’s life. The staff and building provide such a warm, nurturing, engaging environment that my boys can’t wait to get to each day. They have fostered a love of learning in my children that I will be forever grateful for. Moreover, this school has blessed our family with some lifelong friends. We began at RNS new to HP, wondering how we would ever meet people. The sense of community at this school is so strong that within a few months we not only felt a part of the school’s family but felt connected to our new Highland Park community as well. Ravinia Nursery School was the best decision we ever made.
