Our Philosophy

We believe that if a child has the opportunity to develop confidence in herself, she will be able to think for herself, make her own decisions, and work out solutions to her own problems. We want the child to have a good self-image—a feeling that she is a worthwhile person and respects and trusts herself.

We feel that each personality is of value. Each person—if given love, acceptance, support and encouragement—will develop in her own unique way and be of value to herself and society. A parent-education-sponsored cooperative nursery school such as ours is the ideal environment in which these feelings of self-esteem and self-worth can flourish.

Our parents give their time and energy because they believe in the importance and value of a cooperative, giving, sharing, and caring school for their children. Indeed, it is this commitment that makes the cooperative school parent unique among parents of preschoolers.

They’re responsible for their obligations to the school including their workday, night classes, committee duties, and involvement in school activities. The atmosphere they foster provides a happy setting for all of our children, not just their own. With the aid of our professional teachers, our parents contribute to a loving, caring community of adults and children.
