Play. Learn. Laugh. Grow.

Welcome to Queensview Nursery School and Kindergarten—where curiosity blooms, friendships grow, and learning begins with joy.

Nestled in the heart of Queens, NYC, Queensview Nursery School and Kindergarten (QNSK) has been a beloved part of the community since 1951. We’re a cooperative, non-profit preschool where families and teachers work hand-in-hand to create a nurturing, inclusive, and play-based environment that celebrates every child’s natural wonder and love of learning.

At QNSK, we believe that early childhood is a time for exploration—not just preparation. Our classrooms are alive with art projects, sensory play, storytelling, and laughter. Our teachers are experienced early childhood educators who see each child as an individual, helping them build confidence, kindness, and a lifelong love of discovery.

What makes us special? Our strong sense of community. Families are an essential part of QNSK—volunteering, sharing talents, and helping shape the school’s unique spirit. Together, we’ve built a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe, valued, and excited to come to school every day.

From our bright, cheerful classrooms to our outdoor play space and creative curriculum, every part of QNSK is designed to spark imagination and growth. Whether a child is learning to share for the first time or preparing for kindergarten, we meet them right where they are—helping them grow socially, emotionally, and academically in a joyful, caring setting.

At Queensview Nursery School and Kindergarten, learning is play, play is learning, and every day is an adventure.

Queensview Nursery School and Kindergarten, which opened in 1951, is a cooperative preschool that seeks to encourage social confidence, develop appropriate skills and foster a life-long love of learning. Active participation of every family ensures the quality of Queensview Nursery School and Kindergarten’s program and is an important goal of the school.
