Such a special place and so far has been an absolutely amazing first educational experience for our 4 year old. Miss Resa is the absolute best and she adores the kids and loves helping them learn how to communicate kindness, compassion, and helpfulness in the most gentle and effective way. We are so happy we found CNS and can’t wait to go back this fall!

CNS has quickly become a special place not only for our 4-year-old, but for our whole family. We were drawn to the unique co-op model of CNS and have loved watching our child and her classmates engage with the world around them, ask questions, and grow and develop alongside such warm and caring teachers. We are so grateful to have found such an incredible early childhood experience at CNS.

I can't overstate how grateful our family is to have found CNS! It's an amazing early childhood experience for our daughter, who goes to school joyfully every day. What more could a parent ask for! We have loved being a part of this cooperative, which allows us to have full confidence in the education and preschool experience of our daughter. I can't recommend more highly.

We are incredibly lucky to have found CNS! The teachers are so dedicated and the community is unmatched. We love the co-op model where we can really be a part of our child’s first experience with school. We couldn’t recommend CNS more!
