We are a unique community of learners with a rich history and deep commitment to our families. As a cooperative nursery school, we work very closely with parents and our community to foster the growth and development of all students. As a nursery school licensed under the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and registered with the New York Department of Education, we adhere to strict guidelines regarding the health and safety of our students.

Students at GCNS are active participants in their own learning.  We believe children thrive in an environment built on collaboration, creativity and care and our play-based program is designed to encourage students to grow, explore and build meaningful relationships.  This approach allows children to use all their senses to question and understand the world around them while strengthening independence skills and self-confidence. Children are viewed as individuals who develop at their own pace with consistent support and encouragement offered by staff, parents and caregivers. 

Early childhood is a magical age – a time where wonder lives in every question and joy is found in each new discovery. Curiosity is natural and imagination knows no limit. GCNS is proud to have impacted hundreds of children and looks forward to inspiring generations to come.
