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 pre-school programs for children ages 3 to 5 and their families.
In our 50 years of nurturing young people, we've found that children blossom when they're empowered to choose their own activities, and indulge their imaginations within a playspace 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 move freely within the safe and nurturing environment, guided by calm, gentle, committed, and very experienced teachers.
Our programs are designed to foster the whole child, 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. . . and to thrive when they get there.
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.
