Friends Nursery School is a non-profit, non-sectarian, cooperative nursery school sponsored by Friends Meeting. Since 1955, we've offered part time, play-based Preschool programs for children ages 3 to 5 and their families.
In our 50 plus years of nurturing young people, we've found that children thrive when they're empowered to choose their own activities, and indulge their imaginations within a play space that is varied, fun, stimulating, age appropriate, and rich in learning opportunities. A predictable daily routine offer a sense of stability and security to the children as they exuberantly move within the safe and nurturing environment, guided by creative, energetic,fun and very experienced teachers who bring their own unique talents into each program.
Our programs are designed to foster the whole child, through active exploration and quiet reflections,but we pay particular attention to social and emotional well being. Our goal is to help every child entrusted to us develop the self confidence, social skills, and emotional maturity they'll need to transition smoothly from home to an ever larger world.
Now more than ever, Friends provides a safe, calm, loving oasis where children and their families can relax and enjoy the unhurried activities and play they so need in this busy time.
