Community Nursery School

Community Nursery School is a state-licensed preschool offering non-denominational classes, 2 or 4 sessions per week. It does not offer a Day Care program or provide transportation. CNS is open to children ages 3-5 and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, political persuasion, handicap, or ancestry. CNS is a nonprofit organization, governed by a Board of Directors, composed of volunteer parents. We provide 4K (4-5 year olds) instruction as a Community Partner of the Appleton Area School District. It is our intent to provide your child with a warm, positive, "first school" experience. We want him or her to form a positive self-image, learn how to get along with others, and be exposed to many new and varied experiences.

Our Teachers

All teachers meet WI Department of Health and Family Services licensing requirements and complete at least 20 hours of continuing education per year. Our staff is also certified in First Aid and Infant/Child CPR. Carrie Schuh has been the 3K (3-4 year olds) lead teacher for Community Nursery School since 1997. She encourages all children to feel comfortable and excited about learning and playing with their new friends at CNS. Kalyn Grant is our assistant teacher for the 3K classroom. She strives to create a fun and loving environment for our little ones here at CNS! Amy Dugan teaches the morning 4K class. She has a PK-9 education degree in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Middle School.
