  • I could not be happier with this school. My daughter (recently graduated) thrived here, made so many great friends, and learned so much over two years. She loved going to school every day, came home singing new songs, made tons of artwork, and had a wonderful time. The co-op aspect of the school allowed my husband and I to spend time in the classroom, sharing the day with our daughter and her classmates. We treasured these days, and the friendships we have made with the other parents. Community is a huge part of this school, and we are so happy and grateful to have been a part of it!

  • My son just completed his first year at East Side Nursery School and we couldn't be more pleased with the program. The teachers are kind and welcoming, their play-based approach is so thoughtful, and they do a wonderful job of including parents and families in their community. I couldn't more highly recommend!

  • Our daughter attended East Side Nursery School recently. We don’t believe our daughter could have gone to a better school! The teachers, Sarah, Bekah, and Karen-all moms themselves- are just naturals in every way. They are loving, caring, and kind to the children. The curriculum is amazing. Our girl learned so much, which we truly believe is setting her up for success in the coming years. Thank you, Karen, Bekah and Sarah! We highly recommend this school. It will be life-changing for your children!

  • What can I say about East Side Nursery School? It's a magical place for kids. And it's the teachers who make it so. The play-focused classroom setting is a great fit for most three- and four-year-olds as it allows them to explore the world as their interests dictate, with dedicated teachers assisting their investigations. The parent co-op aspect allows families to build a community, the significance of which I can't overemphasize. In short, ESNS is a wonderful place with outstanding teachers where you'll meet other good people.

  • East Side Nursery School is a truly special place. The teachers are incredibly experienced, bringing not only their expertise but also genuine warmth, dedication, and thoughtfulness to everything they do. Their passion for early childhood education shines through in the way they create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. What sets ESNS apart is how seamlessly they integrate learning into daily activities. They foster curiosity through meaningful play, whether it’s through art, storytelling, nature exploration, or imaginative games and the children are constantly discovering and learning new things. My children come home full of stories, new skills, and a growing sense of independence—all nurtured in such an organic, joyful way. The sense of community here is remarkable. ESNS feels like an extension of our family, where parents are involved, voices are heard, and children are celebrated for who they are. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and feel so lucky to be part of this warm, nurturing school. I wholeheartedly recommend ESNS to any family looking for a preschool that truly understands and honors the magic of childhood.

  • We could never say enough good about East Side Nursery School. Their approach to children's social-emotional development is as close to perfect as any will ever be. They show deep understanding of their students' individual needs and consistently treat them all with immense care and compassion. My children adore all three of their teachers. While the warm, caring environment is where ESNS shines in our eyes, the way they teach students is also remarkable. Many schools learn through play on paper, many learn to play in action as well, and do a great job of "tricking" kids into learning. Somehow though, ESNS tricks me, too. I rarely see the academics happening and suddenly my child comes home and knows how to write his name and his brother is telling me which two words rhyme. Their learning through authentic play, wholesome approach to teaching critical social-emotional skills, and opportunity for students to build advocacy and have choice are among the many reasons East Side Nursery Schools has been so fantastic for our family.
