We feel so lucky to be part of the Carol Nursery School community in Shaker Heights. The teachers and staff are deeply caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child’s growth and well-being. It’s clear that the professionals there see and support the whole child, not just academically but socially and emotionally as well. The education is truly top notch. The children are exposed to enriching experiences like sign language and yoga, which help build communication skills, mindfulness, and body awareness at an early age. Regular visits to the library foster a love of reading, and the ample outdoor time ensures kids stay active, curious, and engaged with the world around them. Carol Nursery School is a special place where children thrive, families feel supported, and learning is joyful. We couldn’t recommend it more highly!
I can’t recommend Carol Nursery School enough! It was my daughter’s first experience with separation, and CNS supported it in such a natural, thoughtful way through their Moving On Up program. She’s now in her second year, and the teachers continue to be incredibly warm, supportive, and attentive. The sense of community is truly special—everyone knows everyone. I couldn’t imagine a better place for my daughter’s preschool and pre-K experience. She genuinely looks forward to going to school every day.
We absolutely love Carol Nursery School! Everyone there is incredibly warm, caring, and dedicated. We are currently sending our second child to CNS and they (like our oldest) are thriving thanks to the creativity, patience and genuine love the teachers and staff have for what they do. It’s a nurturing and joyful place—we couldn’t be happier!
We have had such an amazing experience at Carol Nursery School! The CNS community is so welcoming, and our kids have been so lucky to have a preschool experience that truly feels like home. The teachers at CNS are great - their patience & attentiveness for their children and excitement for their classrooms is unparalleled. Could not recommend this wonderful place more!
Carol Nursery has been an absolute delight. I delayed writing this review until my son spent a full school year there. My son started at 3.5 and had never (ever) been away from my side. The separation process was incredibly gentle and intentional. I'm truly amazed - he's never cried going to school. He feels safe and knows "mama comes back". I am continually impressed by the professionalism of the staff, the guidance of the teachers (especially Ms Erin and Ms Shelly) and the warmth of the school. My son is able to safely navigate new social situations and his curiosity about the world is explored through play. The community itself is sweet and fun. They have picnics and dances. Parents can be as involved or not involved. Carol was the right choice for our family with a child who was anxious about leaving my side and had no experience away from me. He has grown so much this year and I'm grateful we chose Carol as part of our "village"
