YCNS Philosophy
Nurturing Young Minds Through Joyful Learning
At YCNS, we understand the power of play in early childhood development.
Our curriculum utilizes a Developmental Education approach, where children learn at their own pace through engaging, developmentally-appropriate experiences.
Play becomes a joyful springboard for exploration, fostering cognitive development in a meaningful and fulfilling way.
Our teachers act as facilitators, observing and building upon each child's unique interests to expand their knowledge and social skills.
YCNS provides a warm and enriching environment that celebrates each child's individual learning journey!
Our 75+ Year History
Founded in 1948, YCNS began as a shared dream among parents in Yorktown Heights. Their vision blossomed into a cooperative nursery school. 77 years later YCNS remains dedicated to the founding mission and true to its roots, fostering a strong sense of community where parents and educators work together to nurture and enrich the lives of young children. Today, YCNS is a thriving accredited school, nurturing the next generation through play-based learning.
