Northfield Community Nursery School, Winnetka

Families will tell you that Northfield Community Nursery School is a special place – you feel it as you walk in the door. Teachers, parents, caregivers and children smile and chat as they head down the hallway and settle into one of our four sunny classrooms. The day’s routines begin, providing a comfortable context as children connect with their friends and teachers and embrace the day’s opportunities. A cheerful buzz arises as conversation flows, imagination grows and learning begins to blossom. At NFCNS, we have a well-known tradition of supporting children’s development in a nurturing, play-based environment that encourages exploration, discovery and growth. Welcome to Northfield Community Nursery School. Northfield Community Nursery School embraces a play-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum for all children. We believe strongly that children learn best through activities and experiences that are engaging, meaningful, and hands-on. Play is the natural medium through which children engage with and learn about their world.
