Nassau Nursery School (NNS) is a cooperative nursery school situated just steps from downtown Princeton, NJ and the beautiful campus of Princeton University. Founded over forty years ago as a non-sectarian, non-profit organization, NNS makes its home at Trinity Church, located just off Nassau Street between Mercer and Stockton Streets. Our children enjoy large, bright classrooms with plenty of room for group reading, individual art projects and serious block castles. We make it a priority to take the children outside everyday where they can ride tricycles, run around and climb on our new play structure (completely redone in 2006).

Our Philosophy:

As a cooperative nursery school celebrating more than forty years of service to the broader Princeton community, Nassau Nursery School continues to be deeply committed to the nurturing of the whole child; to the emotional, physical, social and cognitive growth of each student, everyday.

Nassau Nursery embraces a love of learning and a curiosity of the world through both traditional cognitive learning approaches and interactive play. Through creative daily curriculum and extensive special program offerings (including yoga, music, art, interactive science, field trips and more), the school provides a uniquely inspiring and nurturing learning environment for young preschool through junior kindergarten aged children.

Optional Co-op School:

We encourage all parents in the 3s and Junior Kindergarten (JK) to engage in their child's classroom experience by participating as a co-oping parent. However, we do appreciate the demands of the busy schedules of today and are pleased to offer a non-co-oping option as well.
