Nursery on Notch Hill
Established in 1971 as an outreach program by the Zion Episcopal Church, Nursery on Notch Hill has been a beacon of Early Childhood Education for over five decades. As a non-profit institution, we are committed to fostering the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of your child through our structured and academic preschool program.
In October 2023, we expanded our offerings with the introduction of the top-notch two’s program. This program provides 2-year-olds with opportunities for social interaction outside their families. Our experienced teachers create a safe, engaging environment where we equip our children with the skills they need to thrive in all areas of life and ensure they are developmentally ready for kindergarten. We recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of each child, providing activities that stimulate creativity, curiosity, independence, and self-confidence, and are tailored to their individual pace of development.
Our program aims to nurture independence, promote healthy social interactions, and foster enduring relationships with teachers. We are dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing environment where each child is met with unconditional positive regard and is encouraged to explore the wonders of the world around them.
