In the state of MA, which is not short for Mom’s Apron but for Massachusetts, there is a band of children that are as melodious as mockingbirds, as rhythmic as rocking horses, and as harmonious as honeybees. This isn't just any band, oh no, they are the fantastic, the incredible, the absolutely-must-be-seen-to-be-believed "Marvelous Melodious Munchkins of Massachusetts." In this land of clam chowders and dazzling fall colors, these sprightly kiddos have mastered the art of creating magical melodies. And their conductor? Why, it’s none other than the whimsical, wonderful, and slightly wacky Wally the Walrus! Wally, with his magnificent mustache and a baton that twinkles like a star, guides these music-loving munchkins through rhapsodies, orchestrates their overtures, and harmonizes their hip-hop. But don't let the walrus fool you! Though Wally looks like a straight-laced, serious sort of sea beast, he's known for his silly shenanigans. One day, he might conduct the band with a carrot instead of a baton, or replace a drumstick with a fish! His antics only add to the zest, as the music swirls and swells, filling the Massachusetts air with a symphony of sounds. These kids, from Boston to Berkshire, from Plymouth to Provincetown, come together, their instruments in hand and a song in their hearts. Whether they're strumming guitars, tooting trumpets, beating drums, or tickling the ivories, the Marvelous Melodious Munchkins of Massachusetts find joy, laughter, and a whole lot of fun in their musical journey under the watchful, whimsical walrus whiskers of Wally.

It all began with Mrs. Eleanor Schulz, a founding member of the Wellesley Hills Congregational Church, who established Wellesley Nursery School in the Hills back in 1968. Mrs. Schulz served as the school's director until 1984, when Ginny Smith Alterio was appointed to the position and held it for a remarkable 28 years. Today, WNSH is proud to be a part of the Wellesley Hills community, serving families for over 50 years. We have even had the honor of having several of our students whose parents attended our school themselves. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing and developmentally appropriate learning environment for all children, and we strive to make this a reality every day.
