About the Presbyterian Preschool

What is a Cooperative Nursery School?

A co-op is a “large family” in a school setting where teachers and parents work together to create a nurturing and supportive environment for all, especially the children. Co-oping is an excellent way for parents to be directly involved in their child’s school by assisting in the classroom events on a rotating basis and at your convenience. Sign up sheets are available for parent /child days.  It is one of the highlights of our program. Although co-oping is optional, we encourage our parents to be part of the co-op experience as schedules allow.

STEM, our wonderful gym space,  kids yoga, and the ability to use a beautiful kitchen for implementation of kids ‘hands on’ recipes is just part of the PCCNS preschool experience. What better to learn math skills by measuring, cutting, dividing, and timing.

Our School Philosophy

The preschool program is designed to promote emotional, social, intellectual and physical growth for all of our children. Our school’s well-balanced programs meet the needs of the children according to their age and development. Every child is special and is treated as an individual. Children learn in our multi-cultural environment. We firmly believe in the value of ‘Play is a Child’s Work.’ Through play, children can learn cooperation, social and conversational skills, creative thinking and decision-making.

Our school provides a safe, secure environment for children to explore new ideas, make new friends and learn to love school. Our enthusiastic teachers allow each child to progress at his/her own pace through their encouraging and creative lessons. We are advocates for all children and strive to provide the best educational program for your child.
