We cannot recommend NSFC highly enough! Our son Jack started in Toddler 1 in June 2019 and just graduated preK in August 2023. Over these 4+ years, he flourished thanks to the incredible, experienced staff at NSFC. The teachers became part of our family and their love for Jack was palpable. They always supported and encouraged his creative mind (including let him wear daily costumes ). We trusted their judgment and knew that he was always safe and well cared for. We also truly appreciated their experience and guidance. Teacher sayings like “you get what you get and don’t get upset,” “don’t yuck someone else’s yum” and “tummy to the table” have become part of our home lexicon We are also so thankful for the NSFC community. Not only has Jack made lasting friendships with classmates, but we have also developed close friendships with many of the families. Lastly as a dual professional family, we really appreciated the extended day (7:45-5:30) and summer availability.

My daughter went to NSFC from 15 months through pre-K and I enthusiastically recommend it to anyone needing childcare. The staff and families are so down to earth and supportive. The school is small enough to create a real sense of community that allows parents and children to grow and prosper. I credit the school for making my daughter such a kind and generous person. She was more than ready for kindergarten this year both socially and academically. I cannot recommend the school enough.

My kids have spent a combined 8 years at NSFC (my daughter has one year left). We have loved our experience at the school. Unlike many daycare/pre-K environments, the teacher and staff turnover is low, and as a result I think the team is even more committed to the children. I think one of their biggest strengths is the attention and dedication to each individual child - I've seen firsthand how they work with students with different strengths and challenges in order to help them succeed. They also have a great structured curriculum preparing students for starting elementary school. My son started Kindergarten in Newton this year, and his K teacher actually told me that some of the most prepared, Kindergarten-ready kids she sees come from NSFC! Also of note is the community they've built. My children have made so many close friendships thanks to their time at NSFC -- and the friendships last beyond their time at the school. As a result, my husband and I have also made some great friends. We highly recommend NSFC!
