Saugatuck Nursery School

"My 2.5 year old twins SPRINT into class everyday. This has never happened anywhere else. They come home so happy, with an interesting new art project in their backpacks everyday. The teachers seem incredibly qualified and invested in their students. We couldn't ask for more."

"My daughter just turned 16 and will be finishing her sophomore year in high school. I look back and wonder how she became this curious and nurturing young girl. When we moved to Westport in 2005 several families recommended Sauagtuck Nursery School. When it came time to make the decision and enroll my daughter this was my first choice and only place I could see her attending. The director, Ellen DeHuff and her amazing staff provided a creative environment with enrichment programs in school and field trips outside of school. When anyone ever asks for a pre-school recommendation I will always tell them Saugatuck Nursery School. Thank you Ellen and the wonderful staff"

"THE WORST experience at this school. I do not recommend Saugatuck Nursery School. Any school who asks you for 2 MONTHS tuition AND an application fee just to apply should have been a warning. I want to spare another family the agony of having to go through what we did at this school. I want to send my child to a school that follows the rules, policies, procedures, and contracts, as stated, in writing."

"Saugatuck Nursery School is a remarkable school. As a child's first step into education, there is nothing more a parent could ask for. The teachers, and director, are experienced, creative and a delight to work with. My son has simply blossomed under their guidance. This play-based program focuses on developmentally appropriate skills that many other schools rush through--social, emotional, gross and fine motor, and more. I delight in how my son comes home--smiling, laughing and covered in paint! At SNS, children are able to PLAY. Play is how children discover their world and a lack of play in the early years is a detriment to a child's educational journey. The teachers at Saugatuck Nursery School love and care for each child. They create a warm, comfortable environment that encourages children to try, to make mistakes, and to try again. There is nothing more that we could want in a school and we are so fortunate to be a part of this nurturing community."

"My son started in the 2s program and now he is in the 4s program. He loves it there and never wants to come home! The teachers are all so wonderful and go above and beyond. I'm so glad I chose Saugatuck Nursery School -- I will miss them all so much next year when my son starts kindergarten!"
