KECNS Mission Statement

At Kent Education Center and Nursery School (KECNS), our mission is to provide the children of our community with a safe, caring environment for exploration and growth in a consistent teaching environment. Opportunities for play are combined with music, art, literature, and science in daily school activities. Community awareness extends beyond school through field trips and special program presentations, with parent/guardian participation welcomed. Students complete our program with pre-reading and mathematics skills, a respect for others and themselves, and an eagerness to begin kindergarten.

History

KECNS has served the Kent community for over 50 years in varied configurations! 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).
