*CURRENTLY ENROLLING FOR 2019-20 SCHOOL YEAR*
Welcome to the Kent Education Center & Nursery School (KECNS)!
Kent Education Center & Nursery School (KECNS) provides children with a safe, loving environment for exploration and growth. We focus on play-based learning and the social and emotional development of each child. Opportunities for play are combined with music, art, literature, and science in daily activities.
Community awareness extends beyond the school through field trips and guest presentations, with parent participation welcome. Students complete KECNS with a respect for others and themselves and a readiness to start kindergarten. Visit Programs and Teachers for more details.
KECNS is located in Kent, Connecticut on the ground floor of St. Andrew's Parish House at the intersection of Routes 7 and 341. See Contact page for more details.

History
Kent Community Nursery School (KCNS) opened its doors in September of 1968. The Kent Children’s Center (KCC) has served the area since 1976. Both schools have brought the best developmental child care to the children of our community just one mile apart from each other, and 2015 brought an exciting merger of the two programs. The Town of Kent welcomed the current Kent Education Center and Nursery School (KECNS)!
Licensed and operated in accordance with standards set by the State of Connecticut, the school is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors, comprised of parents and members of the community. The school’s Director and Staff adhere to the developmentally appropriate practices and policies of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
