SPNS PreSchool of Ithaca

A little-known gem of a school for littles ages 2-5. The teachers are some of the most dedicated and kind toward the kids that we have ever met. The fact that they stay for many, many years on average really tells you that the community is uplifting!

We’ve had an outstanding experience at CNS! The teachers bring a remarkable level of energy and commitment to educating students, making every day a joyful and enriching experience. Their innate warmth and welcoming nature create a positive learning environment and they genuinely care about the growth and development of each student. CNS fosters intellectual curiosity and social skills development. I’m always amazed at the creative new learning activities and opportunities provided. From a student-constructed ice castle for dramatic play to engaging classroom songs, my child comes home excitedly sharing what he’s learned each day. The facilities are also great — they have wonderful outdoor playgrounds and an indoor bike room for gross motor play during inclement weather. We’ve been thrilled with CNS and highly recommend it.

CNS has been an amazing experience for both my son and myself. He loved the tour prior to admitting so much he didn’t want to leave; nothing has changed since beginning formally attending. This is a great opportunity for all families interested in attending. It’s a wonderful opportunity to be involved with the day to day happenings of the preschool your child attends. The teachers are amazing and involved with such fun activities that are inclusive to all cultures, traditions and families. Cannot speak highly enough of how wonderful our time with CNS has been!

CNS has been an amazing experience for our daughter. She was in the Nook and the Roost and all the teachers have been nothing but loving, kind, and nourishing to my daughters soul. She is welcomed every day with a huge, warm, greeting! All the teachers there have a sparkle and shine their light!. They truly love their jobs, they love kids. It has also been a great place to become involved, and get to know other adults! Ms. Holly, Ms Jenni, Ms. Evie, Ms. Christina, Ms. Kya, Ms. KC, Ms. Danny and Ms. Emily are all the warmest, sweetest teachers. My daughter is so lucky to have had them!

We love CNS! Our daughter is our second child to attend this warm, loving preschool. We feel so fortunate to be part of this wonderful community for the last five years. The teachers and director are incredible, and the peace of mind felt during school hours is priceless.

My child loves CNS! It is an amazing school with amazing teachers.

Wonderful community. Great teachers. Perfect environment for learning and growth.

Our daughter has been extremely happy here.
