At The Nest Schools, kindness isn’t just a core value, it’s a way of life. Across the Denver metro area, that commitment is taking shape in a powerful way through our KindNEST Charitable Giving Program.
For 2025, each of our five Denver-area schools has selected a local nonprofit organization to support not just with a financial gift, but through hands-on community service, classroom connections, and family involvement. With an initial donation of $2,500 to each organization, plus planned volunteer efforts and educational experiences, our students are learning that even the smallest act of kindness can ripple out and make a real impact.
At The Nest, kindness is more than a core value—it’s our most important lesson to your children. Through KindNEST, we help children understand the importance of community, empathy, and generosity in ways that are developmentally meaningful and deeply rewarding for everyone involved.

Parent Testimonials
Strongsville
From upper management to the teachers and staff, it’s clear how much everyone at The Nest in Strongsville genuinely cares for your child. Trusting others to care for your little one is never easy, but we’ve felt confident since enrolling our daughter at just 3 months old. She’s now a year and a half and thriving—learning, growing, and so happy. I’m incredibly grateful to Haley, Leah, and the entire team for their daily dedication, turning everyday activities into meaningful learning experiences while always prioritizing safety. We couldn’t be happier with the Strongsville team and truly appreciate each and every teacher there.
