Crofton Nursery School

Crofton Nursery School (CNS) was established in 1967 by a group of parents who wanted the best preschool experience for their children. This feeling has been embraced by each participating family since.

At CNS, families and teachers work together in a warm and friendly atmosphere to teach our children cooperation, creativity, and caring for others. Each child benefits through positive reinforcement, rewarding learning activities and the friendly interaction with peers.

In the spirit of a cooperative, we, the participating families, give of ourselves and of our time, so that our school will be what we want it to be for our children.

Led by highly-qualified teachers, Mrs. Scott-Kem and Mrs. Johnson, our curriculum involves the entire family. Parents participate in the classroom and are truly a part of their child's education. We foster social and academic development through a range of fun and educational activities, including art projects, singing and dancing, reading and story time, free play and more.

Crofton Nursery School has been wonderful for my daughter and myself as a mother. Sending my little one to preschool for the first time was exciting but nerve wracking. I love that at CNS I am able to volunteer in the class room regularly and get to know my daughters teacher and classmates.

The classcroom is well organized and very clean. I really like that the price is so affordable. Her teacher is very kind and I love the art projects that she plans. My daughter loves to go to "Little School" as she calls it and I'm so happy that her first experience in an educational group setting is so positive.

Sending my first babe to preschool was enough of an emotional experience by itself but being new to the area and having absolutely no clue where to start or how much it was going to cost was even more stressful. Crofton Nursery School is not only an affordable option, it's been a wonderful experience for my daughter and for me as a mom.

I love staying home with my kiddos to soak up all the moments while they're little, so being able to participate at the school and in the classroom is my favorite part. I've met so many great families who have become friends and have gotten to know each child in her class. Both teachers at CNS are so dedicated to what they do, you can tell how much they enjoy their job and care about the children. I recommend CNS to every parent I meet in the area, it's truly a phenomenal option for early education.
