Our family loves Covenant! My daughter has been going for almost 2 years now, and I can't imagine a better place for her. The teachers and staff are incredibly nurturing, warm, and developmentally-attuned. They meet children where they are, and offer the right kind of scaffolding and challenges to help them grow. I've seen my slow-to-warm little one blossom beautifully and I am so grateful to have this wonderful place right in our neighborhood. As a professional in early childhood mental health, play-based learning was very important to me, and Covenant excels at this, paired with a focus on nature. The outdoor playscape is amazing, and there are two big play areas indoors besides the classrooms. We love that we can walk to school, but the big parking lot is a plus too!
We are finishing up our 2nd year at CNS and couldn’t imagine a better preschool for our children. Our son has made so many new friends and looks forward to seeing his teachers every day. This year he has especially loved the enrichment classes (yoga, dance, messy art) that allow him to stay at school 1.5 hours longer! We love that each classroom spends time in the outdoor play scape each day and that there is an indoor playground for rainy days! As a family that is newer to the area, we have liked getting to know other parents at the many family events.
My family continues to choose Covenant for our kids because it's such a warm, nurturing and welcoming place that they love to attend. CNS provides great foundation of learning! Teachers are wonderful, curriculum is thoughtful, and it has a great parent community. Highly recommend to all families!
This is our 5th year at Covenant. Our family LOVES this gem of a school! Every year is better than the last. Though a part-time program, they offer options to extend the day from 8:30am until 2pm, if needed. The staff is extremely caring, nurturing and really work hard to create a great learning environment for children. The nature-focused program has impacted our entire family in countless ways. We have 2 elementary-aged kids that both successfully transitioned to kindergarten and beyond. The school's focus on social and emotional growth prepared my children to do well both inside and outside the classroom. And if you need more reasons to check this school out, the school community is filled with tons of wonderful families. We have made many great friendships here. Definitely consider this preschool program for your child!
What a wonderful preschool! Our son was in Covenant's multi-age classroom last year and we loved it so much we signed both of our kids up for their summer camp. Our youngest just started for the 2016/2017 school year and is so happy to follow in her brother's footsteps. I love the nature-focused learning and the fact that the kids get such hands on experience outside in the "nature-scape" learning how to engage with their environment & with each other. They have a lot of low-pressure opportunities to meet other parents inside and outside of the classroom, which we've enjoyed. A big bonus: it's awesome (and rare in Evanston) to have such accessible parking right in front of the school. Can't say enough great things about this intimate, down-to-earth preschool community!
