FCNS About Us

About Us

Framingham Centre Nursery School was started in 1963 by First Parish in Framingham to provide a program for young children 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. And in April of 2009, FCNS became a 501(c)(3) organization.

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