The San Anselmo Co-Operative Nursery School is a non-profit,
non-sectarian organization, owned and administered by the parents of
the current year's children. The goal of the preschool is to foster
physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual growth in each
child, which we have been doing since 1947. Originally our school was
located in Fairfax. After several moves it found its permanent home
here in San Anselmo.
A co-operative nursery school provides a unique experience for families
who wish to be involved in their children's education and learn
alongside them. By sharing parenting issues, insights, joys and
struggles, parents gain a sense of community with one another and a
greater understanding of their own child's development. Through their
participation, parents create the kind of school they desire for their
children. Their many talents, strengths and interests provide the
energy that fuels the school. By relying on parent ingenuity, teamwork
and labor, we keep fees low and the school available to a wide spectrum
of people.
The Co-op provides a flexible daily routine, striving to achieve a
balance of spontaneity with structure. Cooking, art and science
projects are provided by parents so the curriculum is ever-changing and
draws upon the experience and knowledge of participants. This structure
is the backbone of the community-based philosophy that is the essence
of the Co-op experience.
Your child will learn:
• The joy of expression through beautiful and messy materials
• How to interact with his/her peers
• That adults are interested in his/her efforts
• That learning and fun are synonymous
