Welcome to the Huguenot Street Cooperative Nursery School
The Huguenot Street Cooperative Nursery School is a non-profit, non-sectarian, cooperative school for children ages 2-5. We rely on parents, teachers and students to work together, participating in every aspect of the school. The cooperative model brings us all closer together and creates a dynamic and enriching learning experience for our children.
Who We Are and Our Mission
As a cooperative nursery, the school is committed to the concept that by actively participating in the classroom, the caregiver experiences the mental, social and emotional development of their child and that this mutual experience contributes significantly to the growth of the child, of their own family life, and of the school.
Our program is varied, flexible, and informal which allow time for both individual exploration and for group experience. The growing child needs some direction, some guidance and LOTS of LOVE. We feel that the merger of caregiver, teacher and community achieves this.
The Huguenot Street Cooperative Nursery School is a cooperative school in which the caregivers share in the responsibilities of ownership by contributing time, knowledge, and experience to the program and by helping the nursery meet its expenses through tuition fees and various fundraisers.
The goal of our program is the enrichment of each child’s preschool experience through the development of self-expression and motor skills, and through the encouragement of good habits like sharing, listening, and cooperating with others.
