If it hasn’t been in the hand and the body, it can’t be in the brain.
— Bev Bos

Our Philosophy

Yorktown Community Nursery School fosters children's cognitive development in an interesting, meaningful, and joyful way. Children are permitted to learn at their own pace through developmentally-appropriate experiences, and to make sense of their world through play.

Our Cooperative Program

YCNS provides a unique opportunity for parents and families to learn how to effectively support the learning process and understand more about their child by becoming involved in their first school experience.
