Community Cooperative Nursery School

We’ve had such a great experience at CCNS! It’s been the perfect first school for our child and a special place for us as parents. The teacher is warm, creative, and really cares about each kid—she makes school feel like a joyous second home. Being part of a co-op has been amazing. We've loved getting to be involved in the day-to-day and getting to know the other families. We have felt supported by this community. Our child has thrived here, and we feel so lucky to have started our school journey in such a caring and connected environment. Can't wait for summer camps and next school year!!

We've had a really great experience with both of our children that have attended CCNS. The teachers are wonderful and in my experience the community has been very warm and welcoming. Both girls love it there and have had good experiences with both the on-site classes and outdoor classes.

We've loved our time at CCNS, we're finishing out 10 years there this spring, with all 4 kids. We LOVE the teachers. The facility is great, including a nice big shaded playground. But the best part is the community! This is a co-op preschool, meaning there are 1-2 parents helping in the class everyday. It's so fun to be in the class, and see what's going on You get to know the teachers, the students and families. There's potential for lifelong friendships here! It's a play based preschool which I love, the focus is on useful skills, like problem solving, manners, speaking up, putting on coats ect... Love it!

CCNS has not only been a wonderful preschool for my child, but a true community for me as a parent. In exchange for less expensive tuition, parents donate time inside the classroom and at school events. This gave me the opportunity to know my child’s new classmates/friends and teacher, I also made new adult friends. The play based model at the school is a very easy and natural transition into educational learning. Anyone looking for a preschool where the tuition is affordable and an opportunity to meet new families, this is the place for your child!

We have been at CCNS for over 6 years now through multiple children. Our daughters have had a great experience there. Their play-based learning philosophy is fun for children and helps develop a sense of curiosity and wonder, become independent, and create meaningful relationships. I’ve loved the co-op model because it has allowed me to have a hands-on impact on my children’s education, but also enabled me to connect with other parents and create a community. The other families are lifelong friends for both myself and my daughters. The teachers at CCNS are wonderful. They are experienced and caring. We’ve also loved their outdoor program; it has helped my kids become wonderful little hikers and observers of nature! CCNS is everything a preschool should be, a warm, child-focused environment that is based around developmentally appropriate learning and fun!
