Mamaroneck Community Nursery School

Mamaroneck Community Nursery School (MCNS) has been nurturing young minds in the Mamaroneck community for over 65 years. As a non-profit, parent-cooperative preschool, we provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn through play and exploration.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster the intellectual, social, and emotional growth of each child in a safe, caring, and challenging environment. We use productive play as a vehicle for learning, empowering our young learners to become confident individuals and valued members of their community.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the power of play as a fundamental learning tool. Each child learns at their own pace and in their own unique way. Our experienced teachers nurture individual growth and social development, fostering a love for exploration, discovery, and learning.

Our Approach

At MCNS, we prioritize:

• Individual learning: We believe in creating a personalized learning environment that meets the individual needs of each child.
• Positive reinforcement: We celebrate progress and support children in reaching their full potential.
• Social development: We foster a sense of community and encourage teamwork and collaboration.
• Emotional development: We guide children in understanding and expressing their emotions in appropriate ways.

Unique Programs and Features

• Parent Participation Program: Parents in the 3s and 4s programs actively participate in the classroom one half day a month, providing a unique learning experience for both parents and children.
• Space Enrichment Programs: Our outdoor play area is designed to encourage exploration, discovery, and physical development.
