Framingham Centre Nursery School was started in 1963 by First Parish in Framingham to provide a program for young people at a time when there were few in the area. Since then both our reputation for excellence and our school have grown.

In 2006, Framingham Centre Nursery School became a non-profit independent corporation, while still maintaining the same excellent facilities, programs and staff.

We are proud to be accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
