Greenville Nursery School was established in 1975.

We offer both full-day and half-day program options to accommodate the needs of our families. Our Hours of Operation are Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. We are dedicated to nurturing curious, confident, and compassionate learners through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships in a developmentally appropriate environment.
Philosophy
At Greenville Nursery School, we believe that early childhood is a time of wonder, exploration, and growth. Our philosophy centers on the belief that children learn best through play, quality teacher interactions, trusting relationships, and meaningful experiences in a nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment.
We are committed to providing a space where children feel safe, seen, and valued, allowing them to confidently explore the world around them. Our approach blends play-based learning, creative expression, social-emotional development, and connection to nature, honoring the whole child – mind, body, anbd spirit.
Rooted in an understanding that children are capable, curious, and resilient, we support each child’s individual growth by offering open-ended materials, time for unstructured play, and thoughtful guidance from caring educators. We see learning as a co-constructed journey between children, teachers, families, and the environment.
We strive to cultivate a preschool community that embraces diversity, kindness, inclusion, and respect for all living things. Through daily experiences in nature, art, storytelling and collaboration, children develop a lifelong love for learning, empathy for others and a deep connection to the world around them.
