The New Canaan Community Nursery School was founded in 1947 by a group of local parents and residents who were interested in providing a quality pre-school for their children. There is strong parental involvement as the school is administered jointly by the parents and the Board of Directors. Teaching staff and parents work together to develop basic policies and educational objectives. The school is non-profit and licensed under the Connecticut Department of Health.

The school has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children since 1992, which is a standard of education excellence.

BACK TO SCHOOL
At New Canaan Community Nursery School we believe that children learn through active exploration that takes place during their play. Our role is to provide children with developmentally appropriate experiences that will prepare them for kindergarten. Our center-based classrooms provide opportunities for children to make choices, learn to socialize, function in a group setting, and become independent and confident individuals. Our facility is specially designed for young children and offers well-equipped indoor and outdoor play spaces.
