Parents' Nursery School Co-Op

Our family loves PNS! We feel cared, welcomed, and loved! We can't speak enough of the good things of PNS, huge beautiful yard, countless toys, creative art projects, story times, music circle times, cute chicken and guinea pigs! The teachers are making sure all the kids are having everything they need for their development, and parents are helping each other like a truly caring community. What is the most grateful under the current pandemic, is that the school board and parents are working hard to make sure our kids' safeness, so that's why we haven't had a single spread out within our community.

My son started the PNS last August, and he loves the school so much. The campus is huge, plenty of outdoor for kids to play. Can’t believe it is a preschool campus. :)) Everyday activities designed by Teacher Amy are so great, including math activities, art activities and cooking every month. Everyday snack is very health. We are so happy to join the school.

When Covid kept the public schools closed for the start of the 2020 school year, I was lost as to what to do with my three-year-old. My older son would start distance learning Kindergarten, but I didn't want my daughter to be completely without school for the year. Luckily, I saw that Parents Nursery School was planning to re-open on a friend's Facebook page. Curious, I clicked to the website and saw they were running a PNS @ Home program. It's been nothing short of amazing. We get a box every week with new activities, crafts and toys from the school. The teachers also offer several optional zoom meetings throughout the week, so my daughter feels connected and important, just like her brother. I can't say enough about the wonderful community of teachers and parents that welcomed us in right away, even though we'd never been to the actual school. When Covid cases eased in fall, we were also able to join a play group after school so we could finally enjoy the amazing play yard that parents rave about. If you're looking for a kind and caring place to send your child, can commit to be involved in their early learning, and want build a community of other parents, I highly recommend PNS!

This is our youngest son's first year at Parents Nursery School (PNS) and our family's third year as part of the community and we couldn't be happier! This school is a co-op, which means that that you, as a parent, have a work day each week as well as night meetings to attend (approx 2x/month), but the payoff to both you and your child is worth the time commitment. This school provides an invaluable education to both the child and the family as well fostering an amazing community - not only will your child make friends at PNS, but you will too!

My son is excited to go to school each day. He loves seeing his friends and finding out what activities are in store for him that day. The gorgeous play yard must be seen to be believed (play structures, sand, trike paths, swings, and chickens!) and art projects, cooking projects, and more keep him thoroughly engaged for the entire morning.

While the school is definitely play-based, our oldest son was well prepared for Kindergarten both socially and academically. I have truly enjoyed being part of my children's early education experiences.
