Neighborhood House Nursery School (NHNS) is operated by the Neighborhood Association, a non-profit, community-based organization. Opened in 1920 and located in a charming Victorian house just one block from Taylor Park, the NHNS provides a home away from home environment where children learn to love the process of learning and discovery. NHNS also creates a unique opportunity to connect learning to our natural environment with the use of our garden area. The pre-school program is open to children of parents who live or work in Millburn/Short Hills and the surrounding communities. Our staff works diligently to prepare each child for the transition to elementary school through fostering confidence, self-awareness and the ability to connect all learning to the world in which we live.
Our school provides the kind of environment and varied "hands-on" experiences that will allow your child to:
  • Make a successful break from home
  • Learn to be with other children
  • Become familiar with a group setting
  • Develop an interest and joy in learning
  • Develop security and a feeling of success
  • Develop self-expression
  • Develop self-control
  • Develop creativity
  • Develop responsibility

News and Events

The Neighborhood House is off to a great start to the school year. The children are settling in and learning the routines. We had our first school wide field trip to the Millburn Fire House on Wednesday, October 3. The 4s (i.e., the children leaving to go to Kindergarten next year) will be headed to the Millburn Farmer's Market on Tuesday, October 16. The children will participate in a color coded scavenger hunt and learn firsthand about farmer's markets. On Thursday, October 25, the school will participate in a school-wide Halloween party at the Bauer Center in Taylor Park. 

There are still some spots left for the 2018-2019 school year. Please contact Jennifer Langan at neighborhouse@verizon.net or 973-376-0739 for more information.
