The Cheshire Nursery School provides an individualized program of school-readiness for pre-schoolers, and school enrichment for our Darcey kindergarten students. CNS is not a
daycare center! We offer a carefully crafted inquiry-based curriculum designed to challenge each child to stretch and grow. Professional staff tailor the program to the individual needs of each child, ensuring that the particular challenges they encounter ultimately lead to success.
