Celebrating Over 60 years!

1965:  The New Hackensack Nursery School was founded and established as a program for four-year-olds by a group of mothers who believed that the four- year-old child was a very special individual who deserved a school setting whose core was the freedom to develop independence and creativity.

​

1971:  In response to popular demand by parents, the New Hackensack Nursery School program for three- year-olds was established.  This special program nurtures a love for school and presents school structure and routines in a relaxed, friendly manner.

 

2012:  New Hackensack Nursery School added a 5-Day Program in our 4's Program.  The extended 5-day program is designed to expand, in a smaller student/teacher ratio, on learning opportunities currently incorporated into the 4’s curriculum. 

​

2018:  The 2's Mommy & Me program, "Me and My Peanut" was introduced.  This special program allows children and their caregiver to experience school in a fun, interactive, and engaging way. 

​

It is our philosophy to give children the opportunity to develop in a safe and nurturing environment.  Our students are exceptionally prepared for their next academic step, be it entering the 3's, entering the 4's, or leaving us for UPK or Kindergarten. 

When entering the school districts, our alumni students excel.  As a result, Kindergarten teachers state that they can tell which students attended New Hackensack Nursery School!  This  is displayed through their ability to problem solve, resolve conflict, share, take turns and follow directions.

They acquire these skills by participating in age appropriate academic games and thematic units. We encourage the confidence and competence that will benefit them and their communities as they move on to their next level of education.
