At Nature's Nursery, our mission is to help children with their social, physical and emotional growth to give them a solid foundation for present and future learning. Founded in 1980, Nature's Nursery is a program of Green Chimneys School, a not-for-profit educational corporation established in 1947. We offer a year-round school and camp with programs for children through age 12.
