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.
