Cultivating creative minds, capable hands, and compassionate hearts

The Madison Cooperative Nursery School (the Co-op) is an educational nursery school founded in June of 1959 by a small collective of mothers who sought to provide a cooperative educational and social preschool experience for their children. Our school remains true to its founding values today, offering parents an opportunity to be actively involved in their child(ren)'s first educational experience. The Co-op is a State-licensed nursery school in Madison, New Jersey offering two, three, and four-day classes for 2 , 3, and 4-year old children. Each class is staffed by two paid qualified teachers and one parent volunteer. The objective of our school is to provide a stimulating and enjoyable educational environment for our students. The uniqueness and individuality of every child is recognized. Emphasis is placed on providing a secure, creative and caring atmosphere in which to guide them toward positive social interactions, emotional maturity, the ability to accept limits and tolerance and acceptance of others. The staff and parents are dedicated to helping each child reach his or her full potential - intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. A cooperative program is unique since both parents and teachers play an integral role in the education process. Parents participate on a rotating basis enabling them to observe and share in our learning activities and social situations. Parent involvement on the Board of Directors and various committees makes for a true school community.
