There are 41 schools in the USA with the word nursery in the name.

The word "nursery" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical association with early childhood education and care. Traditionally, "nursery" referred to places where young children were cared for and began their first experiences with structured learning outside the home. In the early twentieth century, nursery schools emerged as part of educational reform efforts to provide age-appropriate social, emotional, and academic foundations, especially for children not yet old enough for kindergarten. The use of "nursery" in school names also reflects a cultural emphasis on early childhood development and the belief that learning and socialization should begin well before formal schooling. Over time, many communities adopted the term "nursery" for programs and institutions serving preschool-aged children, making it a familiar and reassuring designation for parents seeking early education for their children.
