What our Families Say

We joined MCNS almost 5 years ago now and have sent both our boys through the various classes. We love all the teachers as well as the family community we get to experience every year. It seems year after year Missy, our director, strives for a bigger/better experience by providing more class offerings and times, as well as after hour programs like our backyard movie night and gingerbread workshop. We tell all our friends how amazing our school is because that’s how we truly feel!

MCNS is amazing. We heard of the nursery school from a friend of the family, because they send their children there. I didn’t know where to begin looking for programs for our 2-year old, but knew that he would likely benefit from some interaction with other students in a classroom setting. Our son has now attended for 3 months, and we already see positive changes in his development and speaking abilities (which speaking was a concern of our previously). The teachers, aides, and program director (literally all of them!) are so wonderful to the parents and children. You can tell that the staff genuinely cares through the regular school programs, the events they offer, the way they communicate during drop off and pickups – all around a positive experience. Thank you, MCNS!

We are so thrilled with our PM PreK experience. We had reservations with an afternoon program, but our son quickly adjusted because his teachers were amazing. They both make learning so much fun and came up with such creative learning activities. Our son loves going to school now. Everyone within the MCNS family has been so approachable and helpful. We love all of the fun activities they plan outside the school day as well – movie night, parents night out, Field trips, holiday events, etc.

We LOVE MCNS! My son attended the 2s program in 2020/21 and really flourished. He was having trouble with speech so we wanted to get him in a program where he was socializing with other children his age (especially during the pandemic). His teachers were amazing and always kept him engaged. They did crafts, sang songs and played! He still talks about school all the time and can’t wait to go back for the 3s program!

Our kiddos attended MCNS last school year and had an absolute blast! It was so great to allow them to socialize with other kids in a small class setting all while learning! It was awesome to see how much our children grew during the school year. The teachers are amazing and truly care for your children like their own. The communication from the school is top notch! I also gained a couple new mom friends too which you can’t beat!! I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

My son attended MCNS this past January and our family absolutely loves it. All of the teachers are great and the lessons that they teach are so fun. My son would come home so excited to sing the songs that he learned and to show me his art work. You can tell the teachers truly care about their students and they love what they do. I also appreciate the time they take to send emails and inform us of important dates ahead of time. It’s very helpful with a large family that has busy schedules. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for an educational but fun preschool. Your little one will love it.

MCNS has been such an incredible first school  experience for my 3 year old son.   When I pulled up the first full day of school to drop off my son – i felt so relieved when he went right with Mrs. Towner – at the moment I knew this school was the place for him & was truly what he needed.  The communication at MCNS between parents / teachers is impeccable.  The Fun Fridays enrichment class has been an amazing addition to his preschool experience & I would highly recommend it .  Mrs. DiMino does a wonderful job keeping the kids active, learning  & engaged.  Every week the teachers post pictures of the kids & give feedback of what they learned.  Without any hesitation I would rate MCNS preschool a 10/10.

My son loved going to school at MCNS.  I feel that he is better prepared for kindergarten than children who didn’t attend MCNS.  I highly recommend this school because the teachers are amazing.

I have nothing but positive things to say about MCNS Pre-K. Both of my children had Mrs. Ricci and were well prepared for kindergarten! She goes above and beyond to ensure that each student receives the support they need to be successful. Thanks for starting my children with a solid foundation!!

MCNS has been a wonderful experience for our children.  The classes are well-crafted, providing opportunities for both socialization and academic enrichment, and the teachers are caring and committed, going above and beyond to connect with the students and make a difference in their lives. We couldn’t ask for a better preschool.

We LOVE MCNS! The best decision we could have made for our boys was to send them here. Our middle son just graduated from the TK program and there is no doubt in my mind that he will be ahead in his Kindergarten class. The director and teachers go above and beyond to make sure each child gains the confidence and self-independence they need to succeed at their next grade level. Our son truly blossomed over the past two years academically and socially. He is always eager to go to school and had a wonderful relationship with his teachers. I am sad to see my son transition out but look forward to our youngest son being part of this magical school in the fall!

Our son is participating in transitional kindergarten this year. With a late fall birthday, this is proving to be the perfect experience to prepare him for the demands of kindergarten. He has made more progress in the last 5 months than we saw all of last year. We are so happy with the program at MCNS, that we have chosen to enroll our 3 yr old next year.

We have been fortunate to be a part of MCNS for the past three years and can’t say enough good things about the caring environment, gifted teachers, and fantastic curriculum. Our son has thrived here and looks forward to every day he gets to attend. A hidden gem in our community!!

My family has been involved in MCNS for 4 years. We have experienced the 2’s program, the 3’s and the 4’s and every teacher, every experience, has been amazing. My children have thrived there and the environment is not only one of learning but one of nurturing. The teacher’s love for children and for what they do is evident and it is the reason we will continue to support this wonderful school.

Home - Parent

My twins have a late birthday so we have had the privilege of being able to send them here for three years. MCNS has made the learning environment fun and rewarding for them. They love going to school and look forward to it everyday. We are going to miss it next year when they are off to kindergarten!
