Community Nursery School

Our Commitment to Play-Based Learning

CNS Preschool embodies the belief that learning is most effective through the joy of play. We nurture young minds by providing a developmentally enriched environment where exploration, discovery, and creativity are nurtured. Our highly qualified teachers guide children through playful experiences that foster their intellectual, social, and physical potential.

A Collaborative Community

At CNS, we embrace a unique co-op model where parents and teachers join forces to create a nurturing and supportive learning environment for your child. This shared responsibility fosters close bonds between families and educators, and allows us to tailor the learning experience to each child's unique needs and interests.

Our Journey Begins

Founded over 60 years ago, CNS has been a beacon of early childhood education in our community. We are licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and adhere to the highest standards of safety and care. Our commitment to continuous learning and development ensures your child receives the best possible start in their educational journey.

Our Curriculum: Learning Through Play

Inspired by the inherent curiosity and boundless energy of young minds, our curriculum revolves around playful and engaging activities. Through dramatic play, art exploration, block building, storytelling, and discovery-based learning, your child will explore their surroundings, develop critical skills, and cultivate their unique talents.
