Currently my second kid is attending smpns. With over 70 years of experience, this school knows how to sculpture a wonderful preschool program. The hours are extremely flexible and the prices so reasonable. Parents can coop and enrich the friendly experience. This is the perfect place for kids to shine and cultivate personality.

We love this preschool! There are amazing teachers here who are so loving, kind, creative and truly care about your children. There are activities for kids such as art projects, sensory tables, puzzles, legos, play doh and they have every awesome toy you can think of. Teachers come up with really fun story times everday. Each child gets to do show and tell once a week- they all really look forward to this. Familles can choose to co-op or not- we love having that option and the flexibility the schedule offers. Great outdoor space for kids to free play and explore. Highly recommend this preschool.

This school is incredible! The teachers lead with true compassion, caring, and understanding. The children are free to experience childhood as it is meant to be experienced: through play with a variety of peers and activities. As a speech-language pathologist, SMPNS ticked all my evidence-based early childcare boxes, (play-based, mixed-age, social-emotional development focus) but most importantly, it was the sincere love and respect for children that was so evident from the minute we walked in that led us to join. Co-oping has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a parent, and our family's community has grown so much thanks to the absolutely amazing vibe the parents at SMPNS have. All three of my children have come to SMPNS, and its imprint will live in all of our hearts and minds forever.

SMPNS is a play-based co-op preschool that has been a part of the community for 70 years. The kids get to enjoy indoor and outdoor activities, while the teachers and parents together help guide the children in learning through play. The school fosters a sense of community and the kids really love it there.
