WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
Their passion shows every day. They teach through play, and although the kids may not even realize how much they are learning, they blossom more and more each week!
I can’t say enough great things about Neighborhood Nursery School! As a first-time mom to an only child. I was beyond nervous about sending him to school for the first time. Mrs. Whelan and the other teachers made me feel so comfortable and reassured and since day one my son has loved attending preschool here. He’ll be five this May and returning for his third year in September! Through play based learning, his speech has come so far, he’s blossomed into a social butterfly and learned so much. He especially loves learning new songs on music days and different ways to calm down and reset on yoga days. The best part for both of us has been making wonderful friends through this warm, welcoming and tight knit NNS community.
Both of my girls have loved their time at NNS. The teachers are so caring and supportive of both the kids and the parents, and truly love what they do. If you are looking for a smaller, close knit program with a play-based curriculum, this is it!
We have loved our experience at NNS! From the moment we met the teachers and the other parents we knew it was a very special place. All the teachers are very experienced and you can tell they love what they do. We love the philosophy of play-based learning, this aligns with what wanted for our kids preschool experience. Our favorite part is drop off, because it’s outside which instantly puts my son in a good mood. He’s ready to have fun and learn with his friends!
My boys have been at NNS since my oldest started in 2019. I have always been so impressed with the teachers, the kindness, and truly overall the entire program. My oldest went through the COVID years, and the way they “pivoted” was remarkable. The kids didn’t even know much was different (aside from masks). Both of my boys ran happily into school every day, and barely turn to say bye! I credit the teachers with helping me raise my boys. Truly the best decision I have made since moving to Needham.
NNS has been a home to my three children! When you go to NNS you are treated like family! The teachers are absolutely amazing!! We always laugh at drop off bc not one child needs to say goodbye to their parents, they just run off to be with their peers! We feel so lucky to have found such an incredible school for our kids!!!
We love NNS! Both of our children attended and we got to experience both classrooms. The teachers are all phenomenal – loving and communicative, they create a community that feels so inclusive both with the parents and the teachers together.
I was initially drawn to NNS by the amazing teachers. I felt an immediate match when I met them and knew that my children would thrive in this environment and want to go to school everyday. The most important part of choosing a preschool for me was making sure that my children were in an environment that was caring and comforting, fostered creativity and curiosity, and nurtured the social skills/relationships of the children. I can tell you that all of that happens at NNS from my when my now 12-year-old was there to my current 5-year-old student. My children all came home HAPPY, singing songs they learned, telling me about books they read, interactions they had with classmates, and things they had learned. My children all made lasting friendships at NNS and I have as well. We are so grateful for NNS. Thank you!
