Windsor Co-op Nursery School
Center in Windsor, CA 95492
The Windsor Cooperative Preschool is a non-profit program serving the Windsor area for over 30 years. We offer a very special experience for children ages 2-5 and their families. As a parent run school, we are different from other programs. We have one fully qualified teacher/director who serves as a teacher for the children and a support system for the families. Our teacher is responsible for organizing classroom activities, developing curriculum and working with children on academics and social and emotional skills. The parents in our program are responsible for all other classroom jobs. Parents work as the teachers assistant and they are in charge of all cleaning and care of our school. Because of our unique set-up, costs are low and families have a lot of input in their child Preschool experience. Children and parents are usually very happy with their co-op experience.
