About NSW

We are a full day private preschool created in an atmosphere of caring, respect, and acceptance of all people. We offer programs for children ages 3 to 5 years old, located in the vibrant west Los Angeles community.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a school culture of belonging, to listen to and understand what children are communicating, create environments that support their curiosity, and value them as involved citizens in our community of teachers, families, and neighbors.

Co-constructors of knowledge.

Our values speak to the importance of really understanding what children are asking us, creating environments that support their curiosity and valuing the involvement of teachers, parents, and community in the process.

Children come into this world as curious, competent, and capable learners.

The educators’ job is not “to teach” but to support an environment for learning.

Children form relationships with each other, their environment, and a variety of materials.

Parents are a vital part of the school community and take an active role in their children’s experience.
