The goal of the Madison Community House Nursery School is to provide an intermediate experience between home and school in a warm nurturing atmosphere where children are comfortable with themselves and their peers. We strive to prepare children to enter school with feelings of confidence and enthusiasm. Our experienced staff is devoted to the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of each child.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
