Small School. Big Heart.

A warm, joyful preschool community where children ages two through five learn, grow, and thrive through play and discovery — in partnership with families since 1952.

"Play is the beginning of all knowledge." -Plato

Pittsford Nursery School is a positive, community-centered preschool where caring teachers partner with families to inspire curiosity, confidence, and readiness for the next chapter. Our semi-cooperative, play-based approach nurtures each child’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth — building a lifelong love of learning from their very first school experience.
