What Parents Say
“I cannot express how lucky I feel to have found this preschool for my child. It is the most warm, nurturing, and positive environment - what a great first school experience. It is a lovely and cozy facility with incredible teachers who are invested in each child. An absolute gem.“
“Plymouth Nursery School has a creative, vibrant and loving program where I've seen many children thrive. Its teachers are caring and engaged and the curriculum keeps the kids learning through creating crafts/books of the units they're exploring and lots of hands-on experiments. The curriculum is right on point for social/emotional/physical development and academics to prepare a child for kindergarten. The atmosphere when the kids are in class is fun and joyous. Its private playground is also the best--by far--of any preschool I've seen. The play structure was rebuilt in 2022. PNS is a hidden gem in the middle of Belmont Center!“
“My daughter has had the most ideal preschool experience here. From mimicking Jackson Pollack paintings to marching in a Chinese New Years parade around Belmont Center, she has gotten to experience creative and challenging activities that have her excited to go to school each day. Most importantly, it is done in a warm, truly nurturing setting. I felt that from day one when I met the teachers on our tour. (It actually brought tears to my eyes.) In addition, being a coop, we parents have gotten to participate and have definitely become a community. We chat outside every morning during drop off and have had multiple school-wide activities and play dates. We truly feel lucky to have found this school.“
