What is a Co-Op?

"Cooperative" or "co-op" defines a group of people bonded together in a joint effort. A cooperative nursery school is a group of parents joining together to best educate their young children.

A co-op differs from other schools in how it is managed. A cooperative nursery school is guided by a volunteer parent Board of Directors which meets monthly to establish policies and guidelines for the operation of the school. Parents, in a cooperative situation, have the power to improve their school, and make a difference in their child's education. 

Co-operative preschools are terrific places to share first-hand your child's initial school experiences.

Co-ops are not-for-profit, non-discriminatory organizations owned, maintained, and administered by the parents of the children enrolled.

Co-ops provide a developmentally appropriate program for children meeting their social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs. CCNS also provides parent education through classroom participation and special programs.
