Greenfield Hill Church Nursery School, which opened in 1954, is located at Greenfield Hill Congregational Church, 1045 Old Academy Road. The nursery school is non-sectarian and has always had an open-admissions policy.
The nursery school says its program for children ages 3 through 5 offers focused activities to stimulate and provide opportunities for growth and learning at each child's individual and developmental level.
The nursery school states that its goals are to create a warm and loving atmosphere where each child's uniqueness and creativity are encouraged; to provide a balanced program that involves the child in the excitement and joy of learning through play; to encourage children to follow individual interests; and to provide the opportunity to participate in group activities.
Activities include art, dramatic play, guided free play, manipulative toys, block play, music and movement specialists, nature study, language and literacy, outdoor play, and math and science.
Parent-teacher conferences are held in December and April or on an as-needed basis, and parents may visit the nursery school at any time.
Fees in 2009-10 were $2,815 for 3-year-olds who attend two days; $3,780 for 3-year-olds who attend three days; $4,795 for 4-year-olds who attend four days; $5,745 for 4-year-olds who attend five days; and $6,245 for pre-kindergarten (young 5 year olds.)
Parents cannot enter the parking lot at drop-off or dismissal because the parking lot is too small and children are hard to see when parents are driving sports utility vehicles. Parking is available on-street at those times.
The nursery school advises that it is a nut-free environment due to children with peanut allergies.
