Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church Nursery School (BHPCNS) is a play-based, developmentally age appropriate preschool for children ages 2 years through Pre-K. Experienced teachers guide the children as they develop their interpersonal, communication, problem solving, social emotional, and critical thinking skills in a joyful, fun environment. Through play, music, the arts, and nature, BHPCNS lays the foundation for children to become life-long learners.

BHPCNS believes that young children learn best through play. Our play-based early childhood education program provides hands on multi-sensory experiences both indoors and outdoors to foster a lifelong love of learning. Through our nurturing atmosphere and respect for each child’s unique learning style and temperament, our children grow in resilience, confidence, and independence. Our classroom communities provide an environment where children learn to be kind, respectful, and empathetic and to develop relationships with both adults and their peers.

Our program focuses on the whole child through social emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development tailored to each child’s individual needs. Our children learn through free play, arts and crafts, individual and communal projects, dramatic play, literature, music, science, foreign language, and creative movement.
