ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE

The Neighborhood House Nursery School (NHNS) is operated under the auspices of the Neighborhood Association, a nonprofit, community-based organization. Since 1920, the NHNS has offered an excellent pre-school program to the children of parents who live or work in Millburn/Short Hills and the surrounding communities. Operating out of a picturesque Victorian house on Taylor Street, the NHNS provides a home away from home environment where children can develop the necessary social skills in a warm, nurturing environment. The NHNS staff opens up the world of learning. By providing "hands on" experiences which children can understand and incorporate into their growing body of knowledge.

A simplified philosophy that is displayed at the school reads as follows:

"Our school will seek to provide the kind of environment and varied 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. "
