"Where parents play a part from the start!"
MCNS is a school founded on the philosophy that play is a child’s vehicle for learning. We view learning as a natural and ongoing
process, which occurs as we interact with our environment. We see each child as an individual who develops in his or her own way.
Building meaningful relationships between teacher and child, and among the children, is central to the work we do.
Our programs are based on The Creative Curriculum, which rests firmly on a foundation of early childhood education research. Our
curriculum is designed to address academic content while keeping a purposeful play philosophy. A central goal is to help each child
acquire the social-emotional competence and skills he or she needs to succeed as a learner. We strive to create a peaceful classroom
community where each child can explore, create and experiment freely. Our curriculum includes regular schedules and routines, and reflects state learning standards as it supports teaching content in a developmentally appropriate way.
Using productive play as a vehicle for learning, we help our children grow as individuals and community members in a safe, caring and challenging environment.
