Family Nursery School's cooperative program schedules parents to assist the teacher on a rotating basis (usually about once a month). This shared experience gives you an active role in your child's education and a unique perspective on your child's development. Families are also welcome on our 3 fall and 3 spring field trips that extend our learning beyond the classroom.

Our staff includes New York State Certified Teachers. They have many years of experience in both early childhood and public school programs. Their training and experience as parents gives them valuable perspectives to bring to the classroom. They are dedicated to providing a secure and exciting first school experience.

The Family Nursery School curriculum provides a healthy mixture of social development and academic opportunities. Learning takes place through informal play and structured learning times. Our students learn to accept limits and grow in self-reliance. They learn the tools of conflict resolution and decision-making. They explore the world around them through stories and activities that broaden understanding.
Our Spring Conference program gives parents and teachers an opportunity to evaluate the child's year and consider options for the next growth opportunity.

Come and join our partnership. The Family Nursery School nurtures the whole family. Ours is an interactive program. Your enthusiastic participation completes the circle of love in which your child will flourish.
