I have had two children attend NFCNS and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are friendly and welcoming and are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for children. They are skilled at creating a balance between structured learning activities and free play, allowing kids to develop their social, motor and cognitive skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The new outdoor playground was recently unveiled and it's an excellent addition to the school. It is visually appealing and captures the imagination of the kids, sparking creativity and encouraging imaginative play. NFCNS has regular fundraising and social events for kids, families and adults. It feels so great to be part of such a welcoming and fun community!
We will be entering our 3rd class at NFCNS and I could not love it more. The staff, director and families are all so kind and welcoming. I first entered the school in the parent and tot program and quickly fell in love. The teachers and families quickly felt like home. It was the perfect thing for my child and I to meet some local families and get our child comfortable with a school environment. It's such an easy way to become part of the community. The classrooms are all so cute and foster such a fun environment for kids to play - they have something for everyone. I love how excited our kids get when we tell them we're taking them to school and the giant smiles on their faces because they've had such a great day in class. NFCNS is such a special community and I feel so lucky we came across it. It made something that can be such a stressful decision a no-brainer for our family and I can't wait as our children continue to grow in the school.
NFCNS is such a special little school. All 4 of my kids have gone there and still talk about the fun things they did and learned while there. The teachers are gems. They love working with our little humans and are so creative is ways to help them grow and learn! It has a truly play based curriculum with strong ties to nature and playing outside. The parents do a great job planning social events so the adults can make friends too. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.
We've been a family at NFCNS for 6 years now and all three of my kids have had a great experience. The teachers are so caring with their students and the director is very enthusiastic about learning and about children getting out and exploring nature. The parking lot is nice and big. The outdoor playground is super fun and I love how the school has an indoor gym for use when it's too cold or rainy to go outside. Plus the school is convenient to many local shopping centers which is helpful when trying to run kid-free errands during school time.
We love NFCNS! The teachers are so warm and nurturing, many of them having been working there for years which says a lot! We also love the sense of community the school provides. Very welcoming to new families and lots of optional family and parent only events thru out the year. The location is also super convenient if you have older ones across the street!
