  Amazing school with caring teachers and an amazing director. All questions about anything were answered immediately and any worries I had as a parent were put at ease. The easing into the school year was done so well.

  My daughter loves MCNS. Christine, the director, is lovely and the staff is just the best. All the rules that come with being a part of a cooperative nursery school are clearly stated when signing up, such as parent commitments. Now that I am back to work full time, I am unable to send my kids to preschool there, but I was so happy to sign them up for the MCNS summer camp.

  Let me start by saying the director Christine is lovely. I would have loved to send my daughter to this school. I signed her up a year in advance I loved it so much. However, due to our jobs we can not make commitments to the parent job list, which is mandatory in order for the child to attend. We were asked to remove our child from the school. This happened to us in June so now we have no school for our child to attend in September because all nurseries are completely full. Not all of us can afford to stay at home and make commitments like this. Very disappointed with how they mistreated us and our child.

  This preschool was the best decision I have ever made as a parent. I absolutely love my daughters teachers and staff. As a parent of an only child, I was nervous to send my daughter into school. MCNS took all my anxiety away. I'm so happy with my decision.

  I had observed this school for hours towards my major, and by far the experience was life changing. The director Christine is a true gem! I’m honored she gave me the opportunity to observe, thank you! The head teachers and Assistant teachers are spectacular. They made sure I was involved in their activities and aware of how their curriculum is structured. All the students were excited to learn! Once again my experience here was nothing but the best! Thank you MCNS!
