Trinity Church Nursery School

We have had one or more of our kids at Trinity Church Nursery School since we moved up from the city five years ago. Every year, I’m truly amazed with the dedication and talent of the staff. The director, Miss Sue, is one of a kind. She has the biggest heart and she is sure to be sure each child flourishes. All of the teachers are incredible. So loving, passionate and engaging with the students. Some of our favorite things are the centers in classrooms, music and movement with Miss Wendy, Cooking with Ms. Laurie, Trinity’s Homemade Play-​dough, Thanksgiving Feast, Holiday Cookie Parties, Graduations, Class Picnics, The «Bike» Room, Spanish, TCNS «Gives Back» events, Special Days, and so many more. Each day is so special at Trinity and I feel so fortunate that my family has been a part of this amazing, caring community. We have met many life long friends at Trinity. We will be very sad when our youngest graduates in a couple years. But we’ll forever be a part of the Trinity family.

Our four-​year-​old son is in his second year at Trinity and our two-​year-​old daughter is enrolled in the «parent-​tot» program. To say we’ve been happy with our experiences thus far would be an understatement. Sue, the director, creates a loving environment where the children feel safe and every child is important. Our son is always excited to recount the day’s activities when returning from school and to show off the things he’s learned (counting in Spanish/​singing songs/​etc.) The school also places an emphasis on community building and we’ve met many great families through the various outreach programs. School days are happy days for our children and it’s due to the outstanding efforts of the Trinity team members.

We feel so fortunate to have our kids enrolled in preschool at Trinity. There are many things to rave about, but most importantly the teachers create a loving, safe environment where our kids enjoy going to school, have fun playing with friends, and learn so much — socially and academically. Music, art, cooking, and an introduction to Spanish are all thoughtfully woven into the program. From talking with friends, one of the things that seems to be especially unique about Trinity is the community of parents and friendships that are made among families at TCNS. Trinity helps foster a sense of community through its many (optional) events — an annual fall family festival, parents’ night out events, parent seminars, TCNS Gives Back events that provide opportunities for the kids to work on a service project, and more.

When we moved from the city a few years ago, I was overwhelmed (pleasantly!) at all the choices we had. I did my due diligence with the search and after meeting Miss Sue, the director and seeing her and the classrooms in action, my mind was made up. They focus on the socio-​emotional piece and my daughter is truly becoming a little citizen. It’s often said that parents make friends through their children’s preschool and that has definitely been proven here. I have enlarged my «emergency contact list» and have created my own deep connections.
Trinity would get 5 out of 5 if it offered even more extended day opportunities. But overall, we have seen our daughter learn so much academically and socially.
