Cambridge Nursery School

We absolutely love this preschool. From day one, the teachers have been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's growth — it's clear they truly care about the kids, not just teaching them. Our daughter is thriving here. What really stands out, though, is the sense of community. Parents, teachers, and staff all feel like part of one big extended family. There's always a friendly face at drop-off, and the school does a wonderful job bringing families together through events and open communication. We're so grateful to have found a place that feels this nurturing and supportive. Highly recommend to any family looking for a preschool that feels like home.

Its a beautiful school, with amazing teachers and a fantastic community. Our children have thrived here and received so much love and care from the school!

Our daughter spent a year at CNS and had the absolute best time. The teachers are world class. The other families were lovely as well, and we really appreciated how the co-op model kept everyone involved and invested. We feel like we were really able to get to know everyone. Highly, highly recommend and will miss dearly now that we've moved away.

We are so lucky to have found Cambridge Nursery School. We were nervous that our child wasn’t quite yet ready for school and it has been absolutely beautiful watching him really thrive in this warm, loving, engaging environment. Where do I even begin? The teachers are absolutely amazing and he talks about them constantly at home. They all seem to have a sixth sense about what the kids need. For example: On mornings when our kid seems to be having a little bit more difficulty saying goodbye, one of them inevitably notices and comes over to us to help with the transition: Whether that’s taking him to a window to wave bye, or reading a book with him, or whatever it is that he seems to need that morning. As another example: Our kid gets really nervous around other children, which is one reason we weren’t sure if he was ready yet for preschool. The teachers have gently suggested activities for him with other kids, on days when it seems like he’s in the mood for it, while leaving him to play on his own whenever that’s what he needs. As a result - he has slowly started to warm up to some of the other kids, and has not been stressed at all about it. The curriculum is exactly what a preschool should be. The kids are free to play and explore and the teachers follow the kids’ interests when designing class projects. As a result our kid absolutely loves school: It’s stimulating and fun. But there’s still just enough structure that I feel confident our kid will be ready for grade school when he gets there. But the thing that really makes CNS special is the parent co-op structure. We’re a family of 2 working adults and I was worried it would be difficult for us to make this work. But it has been an absolute joy and blessing to be able to be a part of our kid’s classroom, and I have treasured the extra time I get to spend with him. But it also helps us to see what his school days are like. For example, when he comes home saying he wants to “do the numbers” and then is upset because we don’t have pipe cleaners, I know exactly what he’s talking about. I’ve heard from the teachers that it helps them too - when they see how parents interact with their kids it gives another layer of insight into the kid. Overall the parent co-op structure helps teachers and parents work more smoothly in tandem to support each kid in exactly the way they need. I really can not recommend Cambridge Nursery School enough. It has been the perfect school for our kid and our family and I am so grateful that this institution exists. There really is nothing else like it.

Our daughter attends Cambridge Nursery School and we absolutely adore it. The staff is very experienced, long tenure, and caring. The building itself is nestled into a dead end, making the space safe and lovely. There is fantastic outdoor space, this was a Huge benefit for us that the school has such amazing outdoor space without going anywhere. The community has been overwhelmingly welcoming. When we drop off our 3 yo our 1 yo comes and everyone is so kind to her. We can’t wait for our youngest to attend too. Our daughter is learning so much, is strong verbally and emotionally. We feel truly lucky to have found CNS.
