Our Location, Classroom and Playground
Our Location
Ann Arbor Nursery is located in downtown Ann Arbor, inside the First Baptist Church near the corner of State and Washington streets. We rent our space from the church and operate independently from them, maintaining our own separate, secure classrooms.
Our Classrooms
Our physical space consists of two large, connected rooms (referred to as the "Quiet Room" and the "Noisy Room") where children have lots of room to explore and learn together. All children have the opportunity to play in both rooms during the day.
Our location offers:
-
Free onsite parking
-
Curbside drop-off (assist parent will meet you at the door)
-
Convenient pickup from the playground
-
Plenty of opportunities for walking field trips
