our wonderful teachers and parents. Our nursery school is also special
because we are a co-op, which means that the parents are an integral part of
the daily function of the school. All parents serve as helping parents in the
classroom on a rotating basis as well as select various committees to help
out with. These committees can be anything from helping our teachers to
select books for the month to serving on the school's executive board. Our
children blossom during this first school experience and friends we make at
the co-op feel very much like family.
