School Philosophy and Mission

"The classroom layouts, the material and the curriculum are all carefully considered by the teachers in order to provide the best possible environment for young children. A thoughtful balance between learning objectives, social and emotional needs and quality playtime is evident throughout. “Structured flexibility” best describes the children's time spent at CNS. Order in the day's scheduling and planned environment increases a child's security in him or herself and in the school.
