Cedar Lane Nursery School Accepting Applications for 2026–27

[Erin Mathis]

Hello there! Thinking ahead to warmer times in the fall...Cedar Lane Nursery School is now accepting applications for the 2026–27 school year! We've been so happy there! 

Located in Bethesda, Cedar Lane is a cooperative nursery school known for its warm, close-knit, and supportive community. Our program offers children a thoughtful, play-based early childhood experience led by experienced teachers who nurture social-emotional growth, curiosity, independence, and a love of learning.

As a co-op, Cedar Lane offers families a meaningful opportunity to be actively involved in their child’s early education. Parents and caregivers partner with teachers and one another, creating a collaborative classroom environment and a strong sense of connection among families. Many families find that this involvement deepens their understanding of their child’s development and builds lasting relationships within the community.

Our 4/5s class currently has a waitlist, but we still have openings in our 3s, 2/3s, and 2s classes!

To learn more about our program, please visit www.clns.org. Families are also welcome to contact our admissions team at admis...@clns.org to schedule a tour.

Please share this information with families who may be interested!
