From Our Hearts to Yours: The Story of The Learning Nest

At The Learning Nest, our story is one rooted in community, dedication, and a shared love for teaching. We are a team of women who have been nurturing young minds together for years at the former St. Thomas Nursery School, a beloved institution that served families for 65 wonderful years. When St. Thomas closed its doors, we knew our journey as educators did not have to end. We simply needed to create a new chapter.

Thus, The Learning Nest was born. Though our preschool has only been in business for two years, our team has a history and bond that spans decades. From lead teachers to assistants and substitutes, we are more than colleagues. We are a family. And as a family, we stick together, supporting each other through every challenge and celebrating every milestone.

Starting The Learning Nest was a leap of faith. We did not know exactly what the future held, but we knew we wanted to continue serving families with the same love, care, and dedication that has guided us throughout our teaching careers. Thanks to the unwavering support of our community, we grew faster than we could have ever imagined.

Our growth meant moving to a larger space, and we could not be happier to have found a home in Milford, where most of our staff resides. This move allows us to welcome more families into our nest and provide an enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and flourish.

We are beyond grateful for the families who have joined us on this journey and for the community that has embraced us with open arms. As we look toward the future, we are excited for many more years of learning, laughter, and growth together.

The Learning Nest is more than just a preschool. It is a place where teachers, children, and families come together to create something special. We cannot wait to continue this journey with you.

Welcome to our nest!

Love,

Kelly Braun & Angela Jolley
