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
