Since 1954, Lafayette Nursery School parents and staff have worked together to provide the best experience possible for our children. Parents get to know each other working side-by-side in the classroom thereby creating lasting bonds that can't be replicated at a drop-off preschool. 

Our school calendar is filled with social events ranging from family picnics, parent socials, our annual auction, and mom's and dad's nights out. We send thoughtful care packages, sign up for meal trains, and offer childcare for Members when needed.

When school is out of session, our children attend organized class playdates, holiday celebrations, and summer outings. Members share a similar parenting philosophy making these get togethers a lot of fun! 

With nearly 70 years of history, the community at Lafayette Nursery School is made up of several generations and feels like a big family. Our school is a wonderful place to meet like-minded parents, build strong relationships, and create lovely memories of your child's preschool years.  ​

Testimonials

​"Lafayette Nursery School is more like a family than a preschool. The community of parents and kids extends well beyond the school grounds. Dinners, birthdays, holidays and vacations - we spend them all with members of our LNS family. We feel blessed to be part of such a great group of people and a preschool with such an incredible, long and distinguished history." - Nate Purpura, father of three LNS alumni

​"...it is the teachers, and community that make the school great.  We had an instant family in Lafayette!  Being an educator, I also value the play-based program, and nurturing environment, that Lafayette Nursery School provides.  We stayed for all three years of preschool, and adjusted schedules just so we could stay for our daughter's final year.  It is a hidden gem." - Sabrina Soper, mother of an LNS alumni

​"...Because the parents help run the school, the sense of community and support is very strong. I got more than a dozen meals delivered after the birth of my son and am happy to be returning the favor this year... I recommend LNS to anyone who wants to be involved in their child’s education and be connected to a wonderful extended family."  - Kelsey Mesrour, mother of three LNS alumni
