"This preschool is magic. The minute I turned off Avon Hill Street and entered the gate, I was immediately captured by this school's charm. We have been thrilled by our experience here. The staff is incredible. They are super attentive to each individual students' needs and they work hard to make sure everyone feels safe, comfortable and nurtured. Not only is my daughter making friends, but our entire family is gaining a community. I cannot recommend this amazing neighborhood co-op highly enough. As you think about preschool for your child in Cambridge, schedule a tour and come check this place out."
CNS captured our hearts the moment we toured. The warm, welcoming environment, exceptional tenured staff, and play-based learning approach has given the perfect preschool experience for our son to develop and thrive. The school grounds speak for itself and feels like a second home. It has been wonderful for our family to join a highly engaged and supportive parent and alumni community as parents. There really is no other school like CNS.
"We love CNS! It has been an incredible preschool for our kids and an amazing community for us as parents. Truly a gem in Cambridge!"
"Before finding Cambridge Nursery School, I visited several other preschools that seemed good, but I was never 100% convinced. The moment I stepped into Cambridge Nursery School, I felt it instantly. I knew right away this was where I wanted my daughters to begin their school journey. It truly is a magical place. The teachers are incredible—kind, caring, and deeply dedicated to the children. They bring so much love and humanity into everything they do. The community is just as wonderful. The parents and everyone involved create an environment that feels like a big family. I feel incredibly lucky to have found this place for my daughters. It has been a truly special experience for our family, and I recommend it wholeheartedly."
"CNS has become one of my favorite places on the planet, an oasis of kindness full of wonderful teachers and families! Feel so blessed we found CNS for our daughter!"
"CNS is the epitome of play-based early education and we cannot imagine a more warm or nurturing first school experience for our two children. The schools commitment to play based, child-centric learning is absolute. While there is a structure to the day and objectives for learning, the kids drive what happens at CNS. The teachers are truly the heart of the school. They bring decades of experience and multiple masters degrees between them and all of them have been at the school for many years or decades. CNS is not just a home for our kids, but for our entire family."
children learn much of what they need to know through play. We offer a dynamic, enriching play-based program that fosters each child’s curiosity, self-confidence and a love for discovery.
Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, CNS provides a warm and playful atmosphere for children aged 2 years and 9 months through 5 years. CNS offers a morning-only core program, full-day program, and flexible schedules for families with different needs. As a parent cooperative, we value our community that supports, connects, and enriches the lives of both children and their families.
