Logo for the Nest. Text reads "The Nest, Early Childhood Program at CRC" and the text is nestled in a nest.
On the left, a child wears a shirt that says "Boys will be good humans." On the right, a child rides a tricycle.

At The Nest, parents and teachers work together to foster the growth and development of our children. Young children learn through play and active learning. We strive to provide each child with many varied opportunities to explore, experiment and grow.

Please feel free to contact us if you would like a tour or have specific questions about our program. We look forward to hearing from you!
