About the Program:
Tucked away in a recently renovated building in a quiet residential neighborhood, CNS provides a warm and playful atmosphere for learning for children aged 2 years and 9 months through 5 years. As a parent cooperative, we have a strong community that benefits not only your child, but your entire family as well.
At Cambridge Nursery School, we believe that children learn much of what they need to know through play; their play is their work. We offer a dynamic, enriching play-based program that celebrates and challenges each child, and fosters their curiosity, self-confidence and a love for discovery.
Teachers provide a daily routine that affords the children the opportunity to investigate many materials, both independently and in teacher-directed projects. The morning begins with an extended period of free play that includes opportunities for children to explore independently or work in small groups. Activities include water or sand play, dramatic play, outdoor play, art/science projects, manipulatives, and large blocks. As the morning progresses, each group has a whole-group meeting, snack, and story time. Two mornings per week, a specialist brings music, yoga, or nature education into the classroom. Each class spends time outside every morning, weather-permitting.
