NNS is a Christian preschool for 3-year-olds and Pre-K. For more than 50 years we’ve helped Alexandria kids get ready for kindergarten, learning letters and numbers alongside kindness, prayer, and how to be a good friend.
Now enrolling for 2026-27.

We hear it again and again from families and from kindergarten teachers around Alexandria: NNS kids show up ready for school. Our classrooms follow a steady routine with clear goals, so children walk into kindergarten already knowing how a school day works.
The alphabet, letter sounds, and the first words they’ll read on their own.
Counting, number recognition, shapes, colors, opposites, and positions.
Holding a pencil and crayons correctly, using scissors and glue, and painting.
Days of the week, months of the year, seasons, and the daily weather.
Fastening their own coat and learning their address and phone number.
Playing in groups, sharing, cleaning up, and choosing new friends to play with.
Prayer, Bible stories, and a Bible verse to learn each week in Pre-K.
A steady daily rhythm that looks a lot like a kindergarten classroom.
A gentle first step into school. Children learn to hold crayons and scissors, count, paint, recognize letters and colors, and hear a story every day, with a Bible verse each month.
The year before kindergarten. Children practice holding a pencil, sight words, numbers, their address and phone number, and fastening their own coats, with a Bible verse every week.
Every classroom follows the same rhythm, so children always know what comes next. Teachers can spend their energy on what matters most: knowing each child and making learning fun.

NNS was started in 1969 by Alex Nazarene, the church whose building your child learns in every day. If your family doesn’t have a church home yet, we’d love for you to try ours. Come as you are.
Sundays: Sunday School at 9:30 AM, worship at 10:30 AM, with classes for kids of every age.
The best way to know if NNS is right for your child is to visit. Meet the teachers, see the room, and ask anything you like.
