Reviews
"My son started at RNS in January of this year, and we have been blown away. The teachers, the facilities, the curriculum, the other parents. All of it is impressive. It’s a fantastic little community. We can’t wait to get our younger son enrolled once he’s old enough."
"We have absolutely loved the last three years at Ravinia Nursery School. My son has made so many friends and I know he will be amply prepared for starting kindergarten next fall. My younger son just started and is already doing great! The teachers are incredible - warm, engaging, and so committed to providing a quality preschool education. I can’t say enough about how positive our experience has been."
"Ravinia Nursery School has the most warm and friendly environment - the teachers and the school. My daughter is THRIVING at school and loves going each day. The teachers and parents have become friends, which makes it feel like family. If you are looking for a nursery school that focuses on learning through play, look no further! I just love this little blue school :)"
"Ravinia Nursery School has been one of the greatest blessings in our family’s life. The staff and building provide such a warm, nurturing, engaging environment that my boys can’t wait to get to each day. They have fostered a love of learning in my children that I will be forever grateful for. Moreover, this school has blessed our family with some lifelong friends. We began at RNS new to HP, wondering how we would ever meet people. The sense of community at this school is so strong that within a few months we not only felt a part of the school’s family but felt connected to our new Highland Park community as well. Ravinia Nursery School was the best decision we ever made."
"I can't say enough good things about Ravinia. I've had two children attend Ravinia throughout a period of 6 years. The staff remains nearly 100% the same, meaning attrition is not pervasive as it is in other schools. The teachers are nurturing, caring and playful. While a play-based school structure, the education helps them prepare for kindergarten unlike other schools I've seen in the area. The sense of community among the families is the final reason I really love this school. We've made life-long friendships that will continue even if our children don't go to the same school district. I'd highly recommend checking out the school and taking a tour with Kathy, our school director. I promise you won't be disappointed."
