Cooperative Difference
Each class is led by a degreed lead teacher and an assistant teacher. Daily activities within each class revolve around basic themes or concepts to be explored. Teachers provide monthly calendars of themes and activities to keep families informed of classroom happenings, and to serve as a springboard for extending learning at home.

Located in the former Washington Crossing Elementary School, CCNS is situated on two beautiful acres of Bucks County countryside. While maintaining its old-fashioned schoolhouse charm, the building continually evolves to meet the needs of a modern, progressive nursery school. With three classrooms, an All-Purpose Room complete with a family lending library, and a well-equipped, spacious playground with a nature trail, our children have a comfortable, safe environment in which to learn and grow.
