At the heart of Lincoln Nursery School is our identity as a parent cooperative, where families and educators work together to create a vibrant learning community. For eighty years, LNS – a Reggio-inspired partnership of teachers, family members, and children – has fostered a meaningful and reflective school, establishing joy for lifelong learning. Our unique location at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, connecting to conversation land, further broadens our experiences and deepens our sense of community.

Open from September through mid-June, we welcome children ages 2 years 9 months to 6 years, including those spending their Transitional K or Kindergarten year with us. Our mission centers on nurturing early childhood education that honors the power of play as the foundation for all learning and growth.
