CCNS was founded by the Vestry of Christ's Church on September 20, 1965

In 1987, CCNS was the first school in Westchester County to be accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, a division of the National Association for the Education of Young Children as a model of excellence in programming for young children.

CCNS maintains membership in the National Association of Episcopal Schools which makes us both an education community and a faith community

The school began with 12 four year olds attending class Monday, Wednesdays & Fridays with one parent and one "qualified" teacher in charge. Since then the school has grown into a half-day (mornings & afternoons) private, non-profit, Episcopal nursery school serving approximately 165 children ranging in age from 2 to 5 years.

Children at CCNS attend preschool three to five days per week, with options for either half-day or full-day programs. Each class is led by a passionate head teacher holding a Master’s degree in Education, supported by highly educated assistants with extensive experience in early childhood education. This dedicated and professional team is central to our strong partnership with families and our students’ success. As a result, CCNS has become one of the most sought-after preschools in Westchester.
