Our Philosophy

The Wellesley Nursery School in the Hills is dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. Our goal is to provide a childhood experience filled with adventure, exploration, play, and friendship. We believe that through this approach to learning, children’s natural curiosity will blossom, allowing them to develop confidence and success. Our program creates an atmosphere where families and children feel at home as part of a warm,
supportive community.

The Wellesley Nursery School in the Hills provides a developmentally appropriate program for 2.9 6-year-old children to socialize and learn together. Our curriculum presentation follows the Massachusetts Department of Education standards, encompassing the following areas: Art, English Language Arts, Health Education, History, Social Science, Mathematics, and Science.

Through these educational standards, children have the opportunity to progress academically, emotionally, physically, and socially within a warm and nurturing environment. A typical school day allows for a balance of structured and unstructured time.
