East Side Nursery School

I could not be happier with this school. My daughter (recently graduated) thrived here, made so many great friends, and learned so much over two years. She loved going to school every day, came home singing new songs, made tons of artwork, and had a wonderful time. The co-op aspect of the school allowed my husband and I to spend time in the classroom, sharing the day with our daughter and her classmates. We treasured these days, and the friendships we have made with the other parents. Community is a huge part of this school, and we are so happy and grateful to have been a part of it!

My son just completed his first year at East Side Nursery School and we couldn't be more pleased with the program. The teachers are kind and welcoming, their play-based approach is so thoughtful, and they do a wonderful job of including parents and families in their community. I couldn't more highly recommend!

What can I say about East Side Nursery School? It's a magical place for kids. And it's the teachers who make it so. The play-focused classroom setting is a great fit for most three- and four-year-olds as it allows them to explore the world as their interests dictate, with dedicated teachers assisting their investigations. The parent co-op aspect allows families to build a community, the significance of which I can't overemphasize. In short, ESNS is a wonderful place with outstanding teachers where you'll meet other good people.

We could never say enough good about East Side Nursery School. Their approach to children's social-emotional development is as close to perfect as any will ever be. They show deep understanding of their students' individual needs and consistently treat them all with immense care and compassion. My children adore all three of their teachers. While the warm, caring environment is where ESNS shines in our eyes, the way they teach students is also remarkable. Many schools learn through play on paper, many learn to play in action as well, and do a great job of "tricking" kids into learning. Somehow though, ESNS tricks me, too. I rarely see the academics happening and suddenly my child comes home and knows how to write his name and his brother is telling me which two words rhyme. Their learning through authentic play, wholesome approach to teaching critical social-emotional skills, and opportunity for students to build advocacy and have choice are among the many reasons East Side Nursery Schools has been so fantastic for our family.

East Side Nursery School is AMAZING! Our daughter loves going to school and is thriving! The space is safe, welcoming, and clean and the teachers are loving, passionate, and professional! We feel fortunate to be a part of this wonderful ESNS community and would highly recommend!
