New Morning Nursery School offers play-based educational programs for children ages 2-6. We believe that children learn best through play.

New Morning Nursery School is a play-based preschool in Madison, Wisconsin. New Morning was organized as a non-profit, parent cooperative preschool in 1972. We offer half-day preschool programs for children ages 2-6 years of age. Our child-centered programs balance the needs and developmental levels of each individual child and group of children, and we’ll work with each child during every stage o

☀️ Summer Safety Tips 🏖️

Summer is the perfect time for outdoor adventures, and a few simple precautions can help keep your family safe and healthy all season long!

🌿 Prevent Tick Bites
✔️ Use EPA-registered insect repellent.
✔️ Wear long sleeves and pants when hiking or playing in wooded areas.
✔️ Check everyone (including pets!) for ticks after spending time outdoors.
✔️ Shower soon after coming inside to help wash away unattached ticks.

🧴 Practice Sun Safety
✔️ Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) 15–30 minutes before going outside.
✔️ Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating.
✔️ Wear hats, sunglasses, and lightweight protective clothing.
✔️ Seek shade during peak sun hours (10 a.m.–4 p.m.).

💦 Stay Safe Around Water
✔️ Never leave children unattended near pools, lakes, or beaches.
✔️ Designate a responsible adult as the "water watcher."
✔️ Ensure children wear properly fitted life jackets when boating or around open water.
✔️ Learn CPR and basic water rescue skills.

❤️ A little prevention goes a long way toward a safe, fun-filled summer!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's auction a success! New Morning is an incredible community and it is always so much fun to get together to celebrate it.

Totals are still coming in from the auction and donations, but it looks like we will make a nice-sized dent in our NMNS wish list. We will use the funds to make much needed repairs, purchase replacements for items that have outlived their life span, and hopefully have a little bit left for some new materials as well.

Gilmore Street Parking Update! 🥳

You may have noticed two new parking signs on Gilmore Street. While the red sign states “No Parking 10:30am–2:00pm Wednesdays” for street sweeping, the green sign below designates a 10-minute passenger loading zone from 10:30am - 4:30pm on Wednesdays.

This means families may briefly park on Gilmore Street for drop-off and pick-up on Wednesdays between 10:30am–4:30pm, including during the 10:30am–2:00pm street sweeping window. Please keep stops to 10 minutes or less and follow posted signage.

Check out a brand new parking map to help clarify parking around New Morning. Note, when parking in the church lot, please use striped spaces only and avoid the tree line/back lot area. 😉

Thank you for helping to make pick-ups and drop-off safe, smooth, and neighbor-friendly. 🚗 ❤️
