Welcome to Our Nest
At Nest Community School, we believe childhood is sacred and it is our joy and privilege to partner with families during this precious time in their lives.

In our dynamic home-based mixed-age learning environment, we create opportunities for social interaction and playful hands-on exploration to nurture and inspire young hearts and minds.
We look forward to connecting with you!

Programs
Toddler & Preschool
Our mixed-age toddler and preschool program serves children 12 months to 5 years old. As a home-based program, we enroll a maximum of 12 children per day, with a lead teacher and 1-2 assistant teachers at all times. Our low adult:child ratios allow us to support each child's individual needs. Additionally, we partner with enrichment teachers (e.g., gymnastics, music, etc.) and are proud to serve as a practicum site for student teachers who are working towards their ECE certification.
Parent & Me
We offer Parent & Me classes for parents and children 3 months to 2 years old. We provide a relaxing and engaging learning environment for you and your child to explore together. Come play and learn with us!
