About Wellesley Nursery School in the Hills in Wellesley, MA

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.
