Parent Reviews
The moment I stepped foot into Parents' Nursery School I thought to myself "wow, my son would have a magical childhood here" and that is exactly what ended up happening. Kristen, Gretchen and Lynne are simply fabulous, and they make every day feel like a special new adventure for the kids. During his time at PNS my son learned so much about feelings and emotions (what I think is the most important thing to accomplish during preschool years), working well with others, and his creativity soared. I also loved the physical setup of the space, with the outdoor play area safely attached to the school, which is rare to find in an urban setting. I recommend PNS to everyone I know. We will forever cherish our time there!
We love Parents’ Nursery School! My son comes home so happy and fulfilled everyday. The teachers are kind and nurturing, as well as, skilled and experienced. The kids have plenty of outdoor time regardless of the weather and given all types of opportunities to lead and guide their own play. Great community!
We absolutely love PNS! Our older daughter spend two magical years there and our youngest is in her second year. I cannot say enough about the wonderful teachers who have been there for years and are so invested in the school. The indoor-outdoor space is truly incredible and one of the most inspiring aspects of the school. And the community is so warm and vibrant. It’s been the best thing for our family!
