The Nest Nursery School is a not-for-profit organization located in Southeast Atlanta dedicated to the education and care of young children. With a foundation built upon a strong and uniquely progressive educational philosophy, The Nest Nursery School upholds an image of the child as a powerful, competent, capable, and integral member of the community. The Nest Nursery School envisions each family as unique, deserving of respect, and the center of the child’s life. The school fosters interpersonal relationships among children and adults in order to provide an educational experience of the highest quality built upon the belief that children have a natural disposition for learning and an innate curiosity that, when intentionally and carefully nurtured, blossoms into a life-long love of learning.
The Nest Nursery School embraces childhood as a magical time. The school is designed to feel like a home away from home for children and their families. The Nest is a place where parents can feel confident that their children are receiving the very best care and education.
The Nest Nursery School strives for excellence in its approach to education which influences the daily life within the school. Of particular inspiration for the school are the experiences and underlying philosophies of the infant/toddler centers and preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy.
The Nest Nursery School provides children with a safe, loving, engaging, interesting, respectful and nurturing environment in which to grow and develop. All who are involved with the school – families, children and educators – are responsible for creating and maintaining the school environment in a way that supports the mission of the school. The school nurtures the child physically, socially and intellectually by providing high-quality and nutritious meals, small group interactions, and an intriguing, interesting and clean environment in which to explore.
The Nest Nursery School sees itself as a part of a larger community and authentic connections to the community are a vital part of the educational philosophy of the school. Because daily exposure to the natural environment is essential for the healthy development of children, experiences in and around nature are a key component of the school’s educational beliefs. The school recognizes the role that families play in creating deep and meaningful experiences for children. With this in mind, The Nest Nursery School is always open to the unique perspective and points of view of parents and other important caregivers in the lives of the children. The school offers a full-day program of a quality that is not currently available in the Southeast Atlanta area.
The founders and educators continually respond to the demanding standards to which they hold themselves. Every decision related to the educational policies of the school is made in collaboration and with highest regard to the mission, vision, and values of the school.
