Our Philosophy

At KNS, we believe young children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships. Our program supports the whole child by encouraging curiosity, independence, cooperation, and respect for others.

Our activities are thoughtfully balanced - indoor, and outdoors, in large and small groups, and are designed to be energetic, quiet, reflective and purposeful. Consistent routines and rhythms help create a safe and predictable environment, giving children the confidence and structure they need to thrive.

Now proudly celebrating 85 years of early childhood education, KNS continues to nurture a love of learning and community through play-based exploration and connection.

Parent Reviews
​

"This is a great preschool.  Clean, organized, with plenty of outdoor play space.  It is a co-op preschool but your co-op hours are super do-able."  - Gena O. 8.30.15
"My oldest attended KNS for two years and loved it.  Comforting to know your child is sent to a place with caring, attentive, good people.  And now our younger son is attending and thinks he runs the place.  We highly recommend KNS."  - Jeff K.  9.9.15
"My children were always bringing home art projects, fun science experiments, potted plants or panning for "gold" in the sand box...My daughter came home singing a new song and signing with her hands the words in Sign language.  Wow I love this school even more." 
-Andrea D. 10.18.15
"We can't say enough great things about this place;  the teachers are warm and welcoming (and have a really low turnover, which speaks volumes about how great they are but also what a great place KNS is), the facilities encourage great creativity for the kids (nice big play yard and cozy indoor spaces)--in general it's just a really great place." 
​-C.R. 9.24.14
