What parents say
We love Community Nursery School! Such a warm and supportive community that prioritize children’s wellbeing and happiness. Beautiful playground, kind, experienced teachers, and a wonderful upk discount for pre-school age children. I have had my girls in all three classrooms and wonderful experiences in all classrooms and teachers.
Adrienne Rose Bitar · 5/5 on Google · a year agoWe love CNS! Our child enjoys every moment spent with the wonderful teachers and friends. The warm and nurturing environment fosters creativity, learning, and social growth. It’s heartwarming to see our little one so excited to go to school each day. We truly appreciate the dedication of the teachers and the sense of community CNS provides. Highly recommend!
Jie Li · 5/5 on Google · a year agoThis is our first year at CNS and we just love it. There is a real emphasis on building community and encouraging parental involvement, which is just what we were looking for. The teachers are SO nurturing and kind! They have created a warm, fun environment which our daughter loves. We are extremely happy with our choice to enroll her at CNS.
Melina Lopez Stern · 5/5 on Google · a year agoI couldn't recommend CNS enough! We moved to Ithaca in January and thus, moved our 3-year old away from all of her friends to a brand new school with new teachers and new faces. EVERYONE (teachers, kids, and parents) have been so welcoming and loving toward our daughter and our entire family. Our daughter runs into school each day and often wants to stay longer to play. The CNS community is amazing!
