At North Side Nursery School, we believe that children learn best when they are free to explore, move, and imagine. Our hands-on, nature-based approach encourages each child to grow socially, emotionally, and cognitively at their own pace and in their own way.

Where Learning Happens

Our Indoor Classroom

A cozy, welcoming space where students enjoy read-alouds, art, music, dramatic play, and hands-on exploration. Small group activities and quiet time give children space to engage deeply, build relationships, and develop early literacy, math, and self-care skills.

Our Outdoor Classroom

Our playground is made of sand, dirt, mud, and opportunity. Children dig, climb, swing, and collect natural materials while building confidence, fitness, and imagination. Loose parts, stick play, and a mud kitchen invite open-ended learning year-round.

Our Beyond Classroom

Learning doesn’t stop at the fence. Children safely explore nearby woods, beaches, and the Yarmouth Port neighborhood. We visit the Historical Society trail, the fire station, and the marshlands, where students deepen their understanding of nature, and themselves.
