Why us
The best early learning experience
Our most important function at Village Nursery School is to ensure that each child’s first school experience is a joyful and enriching one. Above all, we hope to impart a love of school and learning for all our students.
VNS operates for 36 weeks each academic year running from September to June. In case of inclement weather, we will close if Harvard Public Schools are closed.
For Your Unique Child
We foster and support each child’s unique learning style.
Passionate teachers
Small class sizes are led by highly qualified teachers, many of whom have been with the school 5, 10, or even 15 or more years
Creative Spaces
Our spaces are bright, happy spaces in which children can grow and learn. Our outdoor space includes a playground, Nature Nook, and access to the Harvard Conservation Trail System.
