			The Cooperative Nursery School of Ridgewood, or “The Co-op,” promotes continuity between the child’s home and preschool. Through its cooperative nature, families support and care about each other. Children, parents and teachers together create a warm and extended community for growing and learning. "Kudos to the Ridgewood co-op for an excellent preschool program. My students who have attended cooperative preschool programs display exemplary kindergarten readiness. If I could do it all over again, I would enroll my own child in the Cooperative Nursery School." — Paramus, NJ kindergarten teacher
