Testimonial from a current SNS parent:
As a parent of two young children, I feel extremely fortunate to live in a community with so many excellent preschool options. I explored many, and when I walked into Shelburne Nursery School, I felt this was the perfect school for my family. SNS is a vibrant and nurturing preschool where children, families, and teachers form close bonds and where a dedication to learning and growing at each child’s individual pace is paramount. The joy my son expresses for school is infectious, especially for the ever-changing environments teacher Diane creates (a Model T complete with a crank, a locomotive, a wagon train with sawhorse horses, the Three Bears’ House, the Mayflower – all just this year!). Head teacher Joanne, who has been at SNS for 30 years, has instilled an early love of math in my son – a great surprise to his non-math-inclined parents. The excitement she expressed when our son “got it” this winter with early reading was clear proof that her true love is teaching. She and her fellow teachers are extremely experienced and talented. And this year SNS began collaborating with Shelburne Museum – SNS children take walking field trips throughout the year to the Museum and engage in hands-on activities there as well as related curriculum at school.

I would highly encourage families considering preschools to take a look at SNS, and also encourage families looking for additional days to ask how SNS families have added other highly-regarded one-day programs to our SNS programs. SNS also offers afternoon enrichment programs for both 3- and 4-year-olds (open to children from other schools), which I can attest are excellent!
