CCNS and Valley Sports Join Efforts

To expand upon and continue enhancing Canton Community Nursery School’s commitment to its health program, Debbie Lane, the Director of CCNS, approached Mark Lange, owner of Valley Sport Center and parent of an alumni of CCNS, about offering a program one afternoon a week that would allow the children to explore different sporting activities. The response by families to the offering at CCNS has been amazing! Ninety-nine percent of the children enrolled in the four year old program are taking part.

Students at Canton Community Nursery School have just finished the second of three four week sessions at Valley Sport Center of Canton. The children board a bus at the school accompanied by Mark and an instructor from Valley Sport to take part in a 2 hour program each week.  The program has been so successful that Valley Sport is offering an additional 2 sessions once the current classes have finished.

         Canton Community Nursery School continues to expand its offerings to encourage the development of healthy lifestyle choices in children.  CCNS offers an outdoor program, the collaboration with Valley Sports, and continues to explore and develop additional offerings to support physical fitness / healthy living habits.  When children learn to make healthy choices and develop an awareness for how physical fitness enhances their lives, they are more likely to carry these attitudes into adulthood.  CCNS is dedicated to launching children into healthy lifestyles!

Canton Community Nursery School (CCNS) is a non-profit organization that was chartered in 1969 by a group of enthusiastic Canton residents to provide a quality preschool program for children ages three and four.  We continue to thrive today with support from the wonderful families and friends of our students.

At Canton Community Nursery School,  we actively encourage parental involvement.  It makes our program strong and allows you to be directly involved in your child's early learning experiences.  The success of our program is due to cooperation between home and school.  A parent helper aids the staff in the classroom every day.  In addition, parents are encouraged to share their time and talents to whatever degree they feel comfortable.  Together we can provide a fun, loving, nurturing program that will prepare your child for their role as a "life-long learner."

The school is governed by a Board of Directors and is staffed with qualified professionals.The Board of Directors, which handles the business and administrative duties of the school, consists of the director, the staff and parent volunteers.

We welcome students from all area towns.  Our alumni are from Avon, Barkhamsted, Burlington, Canton, East Hartland, Granby, New Hartford, Simsbury and Winsted.  We celebrate diversity and provide an atmosphere where cooperation, sharing, and sensitivity flourish. 

For further information on our school, please call our Director, Debbie Lane, at (860) 693-6146 or our Registrar, Andrea Torrillo at (860) 352-2241.  We look forward to answering all of your questions and having you visit our school.  Please click here to read testimonials from some of our families.
