THE NEW NURSERY SCHOOL

A church with a playground is a church doing God's work.


The New Nursery School (NNS) of UCC Norwell was founded in 1977 as an outreach mission of the church to support families across the South Shore in nurturing the educational development of children. With the support of its Director, the school is operated by a Parent Advisory Committee comprised of church members and parents. NNS is nondenominational and licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care. New Nursery provides a warm and nurturing environment for children ages 2-5 years old, where the spirit of discovery is encouraged through activities appropriate to children’s developmental levels. Small class size and low teacher/child ratios allow children to develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually in a setting where they are valued and respected as individuals. Contact Danielle Biggins, Director, for more information about curriculum, tours, and enrollment.

Tuition Grant Program

Through the generosity of NNS families and friends, we are able to offer need-based tuition grants for any student seeking a positive, nurturing Preschool or Pre-K environment through the NNS community. Email Danielle Biggins to inquire about our tuition grant program.
