Founded in 1967, the North Huntington Beach Community Nursery School is a parent participation preschool with a philosophy based on the respect of children as competent and capable individuals. It offers a child-centered, play-based curriculum that provides daily opportunities to build, create, get messy and take risks. NHBCNS is a parent-participation program that allows families to grow, learn and be nurtured together. We have amazing indoor and outdoor environments filled with adventure, creativity, challenges and wonder. Our guidance approach involves children in the process of problem solving and cooperation.
