Description:
TSNS is a state-licensed, non-profit nursery school established over 40 years ago. All classes are taught by state certified teachers and assistants and are open to students of all faiths.

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.

We absolutely love everything about TSNS! The teachers are wonderful! I feel so comfortable handing my boys over to them in the morning. Last year they were such a big help when it came time for potty training! Also, the tuition is very budget friendly and very competitive to nearby programs. We are very happy to be part of the TSNS family. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a program for their child to learn, grow, socialize and prep for Kindergarten.
