"We feel so very lucky to have found Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt at Nurturing Worth! We toured over 10 programs looking for the right fit for our daughter. Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt are absolute gems! They teach and embody empathy, compassion and fairness. I highly admire their skills at working with groups of kids and feel so confident our daughter is in great hands when she's at school. I love that they support our daughter learning at her own pace. Nurturing Worth is full of all the amazing Montessori learning tools, a working garden, composting, and an emphasis on care and respect for others and the environment. Could you ask for anything more? My only complaint is that Nurturing Worth does not offer a program through High School! I'm serious!"

"We love the emotional maturity and connection our children have received at Nurturing Worth - how Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt work with our children to move through our children's feelings and are genuinely curious about why they are behaving in x, y, z way, like when my daughter was doing her copying behavior.
Nurturing Worth always feels calming. There is just a feeling of warmth and love. I remember, especially as a new mom, how calm it felt with so many little ones all around. That calmness inspired me to learn more about Montessori and gave me confidence that I too could be calmer as a mom!
They work with the children to look each other in the eye and smile and compliment one another - to really respect their friends and other people and find the joy in others. We love this so much!
We love that the curriculum is child-led and that they wouldn’t force something, like holding a pencil a particular way. I think this shows their trust in the children. When a teacher trusts our children to learn, even if a little different, it allows for more trust and less stress for the parents.
Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt gravitate towards the positive, even when dealing with seemingly “negative” behavior and all of this leads to more of that peaceful and nurturing environment.
My daughter was able to blossom on her own schedule and gained such self confidence in truly being herself. We see our son now on the same path. Most of the growth being emotional, learning how to play, learning to make amends, and learning how to be a good friend.
I love the natural materials they use. I don’t feel the space is overwhelming or cluttered. They teach the children to respect the materials and clean up after themselves. I remember my son saying he didn’t want to play with the toys at the other preschool we tried because they were “dirty”.
Nurturing worth feels like family to us. We do not worry when our children are in Miss Kelsey's and Mr. Kurt's hands. We are so grateful for their tenderness and care."

"We couldn't be happier with Miss Kelsey and Nurturing Worth. She has created a peaceful, natural environment filled with love and learning. Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt are patient, kind and responsive, and beautifully open to learning and growing in every situation. They genuinely enjoy and care for the children, and their families.
We love the organic garden, the Montessori teaching, and that Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt are trained in Redirecting Children's Behavior (a positive parenting approach we use ourselves). We love their constant communication with parents and the care they put into every communication.
We feel fully confident and supported with Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt, and know that our son is getting the best possible preschool experience. We've seen him grow from potty training to writing his name, with them cheering him on in their special way.
We're incredibly grateful for Nurturing Worth and recommend it to anyone who is seeking an organic (in every sense of the word) and truly nurturing environment for their children."

"We love all the things of Nurturing Worth! We love how well rounded everything is. NW teaches structure but also encourages a free spirit. My daughter gets so excited about the activities she does and we love how much variety there is. Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt have made it so easy for us to leave our daughter with them! It’s as simple as she’s happy so we’re happy. Also we just their family and their own children in general! I’m very quick to recommend NW to anybody who asks. I say my daughter learns so much and is thoroughly entertained through the activities and then she also gets to just go and be a kid and run around. They also attract amazing families as well and I think that says so much about NW.
WE LOVE NW! 💛"

"A few things we really love about Nurturing Worth are…
-The intimacy, all the children know each other so well and are practically family.
-The fact that they practice good life skills, such as eye contact when you are talking to someone and ways to express your feelings.
-The fun activities such as water balloon fights and color spraying the wall, etc.
-I REALLY appreciate how Miss Kelsey and Mr. Kurt handle drop offs for new children. It was so hard on both ends and I don’t think I could have received that attention from any other school! We are so grateful for Nurturing Worth!! It shows through our children how much they care."
