NPNS was established by the Noroton Presbyterian Church (NPC) in 1957 to meet the needs for quality early childhood education for the children of NPC and our community neighbors. NPNS is a non-profit, self-supporting program, licensed by the State Board of Health. It is also accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

To be a nationally accredited program means that our school has demonstrated a strong commitment to providing high quality programs for young children and their families.

The school is a branch of the Children's Ministry of NPC and is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of parent volunteers, the Director of NPNS, the Director of Children's Ministry of NPC and a church elder.
