What parents are saying.

  • “Nature and Nurture preschool is a fantastic environment for families interested in play-based, child focused learning. Alyssa is a knowledgeable, warm, and enthusiastic teacher. Her care and attention to detail is so valuable - she spends so much time investing in her students both individually and as a group. She offers plenty of opportunities for children to explore and create, to follow their own interests and also engage with their peers. Our daughter has thrived under her care - it has been so wonderful to see her creativity and curiosity develop and to witness her social interests take form! We are so thrilled we found Alyssa and her wonderful program."

  • "Making the switch from center based care to Alyssa’s home based preschool program has been a breath of fresh air! The name alone sums it up nicely, Nature & Nurture, but with Alyssa it is so much more than that! She is a kind, caring individual who is full of life and patience! Her play based curriculum is carefully planned out with so much love, dedication and creativity. The lunch and snack menu is quite appealing too. Communication and daily updates are top notch through use of the brightwheel app and monthly newsletters. Special events and field trips are family oriented and allows all of us to connect a few times throughout the year. Most importantly our daughter enjoys her school days and has learned so much along the way. I am able to drop her off each day knowing she is in good hands with someone who has become more like family than anything else. Highly recommended!!!"

  • "Alyssa is wonderful. We viewed many preschools, but the minute we toured Nature and Nurture, we knew this was the right fit for us. All of the children naturally gravitate to her. She made the transition for our son who had previously been home with us seamless. Her calm demeanor is so welcoming to her students, and puts nervous parents at ease. We love that she does so many hands on activities with the children and that they frequently spend time outside. Alyssa is more than just a preschool teacher to us, she feels more like an extension of our family and she cares deeply about each student in her care. There is so much thought into her daily routines and activities. We have just loved watching our son grow and thrive in her care."

    -Kristi, preschool parent

  • “We cannot say enough good things about Alyssa, who has taken care of our baby Miles since he was 6 weeks old. She has all the qualities we were looking for in a caregiver: she’s incredibly knowledgeable about babies and children and has helped us make decisions when we’re stressed out and sleep deprived; she is so caring and playful and responsive to Miles; and she is responsible and someone we trust completely. If Miles was old enough we would enroll him in her preschool in a heartbeat."

  • "If you know me, you’ve heard me talk about how incredible Alyssa is and how much she means to our family. Alyssa has bettered our life in so many ways, I will NEVER be able to thank her enough for how much she has done for our family. Before I had Eleanor I was a goal chasing, over time working, opportunity seeking ICU nurse. Never in my life did I think it would be hard for me to want to return to work after maternity leave - but it was. Then we met Alyssa! There is no peace of mind like having your child cared for by someone who loves them and takes care of them just as good as you do! Alyssa is loving, caring, patient and so great with our babe (and our wild dogs)! What a blessing she has been to our family, we are going to miss her SO much! We love you, Alyssa!"
