My oldest went in to Kindergarten well prepared both emotionally and academically. My youngest is still going there and loves all the teachers.

Skills that we can't get him to try at all, he suddenly comes home willing and proud to show us. The community is warm, and I adore everyone there. It's affordable, small, and very personal.

We chose this program because of the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the well-thought-out curriculum. Our son just finished his second year at NCH, and he has grown so much as a result of his experiences there. The director, Alison Hennen, draws on a variety of early educational philosophies (including Montessori) to create a curriculum that is both fun and educational, and the teachers are well-versed in child development. It's clear that they care a great deal about the children they teach, and they were always incredibly kind and patient with our son. We feel that NCH has given him the best possible preparation for kindergarten, and we can't wait for our daughter to attend the program when she reaches preschool age!

She's a very particular little one-haha. She had been going to an in-home daycare prior and it was a nightmare, I even had hired a home nanny for temporary till we could find a place that was a great fit for my baby girl. Once we found this school and met Helen it was a perfect fit! Helen is the owner and treats every child from infant to toddler as her own! They genuinely care about each and every child like family.

We love the facility itself - the full gym is amazing, the meals are great, but it's the love, care, and practical Montessori-based instruction they provide that makes such a difference. We couldn't be happier.
