welcome
Glenview Community Church Nursery School
is a developmental, nonsectarian, not-for-profit preschool serving all families.

Our purpose is to provide a nurturing environment where each child is encouraged in all areas of growth (cognitive, social, emotional, physical). The development of learning skills is stimulated through guided, creative play and group interactions.

2007 marked our 60th anniversary of nurturing children! Together, our educational staff has 181 combined years of experience teaching children. These two factors alone make GCCNS one of the most highly regarded Nursery Schools on the North Shore.

PLEASE JOIN US AT THE PARK THIS SUMMER!
What a better way to keep in touch with GCCNS buddies and meet new people, than to join us for a day in the park. We’ve arranged for informal gatherings at four great Glenview parks – join us if you have time! Click here for park dates.

Thank you to all GCCNS families!
Reach Out For Reading set a goal to collect 1000 new or gently used books for the organization Rock For Reading ­ a non-profit dedicated to raising money, resources and awareness to fight illiteracy ­ and we surpassed that goal. A big pat on the back to all GCCNS families!!! Our books will help schools and literacy programs in underserved communities and kids throughout the Chicago land area.
Founder and president of Rock For Reading, Alice Peacock, brought her guitar to this year's Winter Concert and played an acoustic medley of kid’s songs to thank us for a philanthropy job well done.

GCCNS Winter Family Concert and Rock for Reading is listed on the Crain's Chicago Business website in an article called "10 Things To Do This Weekend".
