Perched like a whimsical treehouse in the heart of the Berkeley Hills,
our small, private, non-profit 501(c)(3) preschool has been nurturing young minds since 1947. With a maximum capacity of just 40 students, we offer an intimate, nature-inspired setting where children can learn, play, and grow. Rooted in a long-standing tradition of community and care, our school
provides a warm, inclusive environment that honors each child’s individuality while fostering curiosity, creativity, and connection to the world around them.

Mission Statement
Berkeley Hills Nursery School is a community of teachers, parents and children working and learning together through play.
We provide a safe, warm and nurturing environment in which the uniqueness of each child is honored.
The children come together as a community where they learn to develop relationships based on trust and respect, while exploring new ideas and the world around them.
The teachers, informed by the children's emerging interests, facilitate hands on and cooperative learning situations that foster their students' social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth.
