​Welcome to The Community Nursery School in Nutley!

​Where children have the opportunity and space to grow intellectually, socially and academically. We realize the importance of the "early learning" years and our staff is educated and experienced in the field of Early Childhood. We are licensed by the State of New Jersey and our curriculum is developmentally appropriate in accordance with the needs of young children. We enroll children from ages 3 months to 5 years old and offer flexible hours to accommodate your schedule.

​The Community School is participating in Grow NJ Kids, a state-sponsored initiative to raise the quality of child care and early learning throughout New Jersey. 

​We use The Creative Curriculum, which is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that features exploration and discovery as a way of learning, enabling children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills. Our curriculum provides endless experiences in art, language, music, social studies, math, science and social learning. Motor skills and all five senses are fully engaged during play time in our spacious gym and large indoor and outdoor play areas. Our enrichment programs include Music and Movement, Yoga, and musical instruments (keyboard, guitar, etc.). We aim to provide a comprehensive education that will enhance your child's understanding of the world around them and prepare them with skills they will need in elementary school and beyond.
