Actively participate in your child's first school experience.
 
    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

REGISTER NOW FOR "MOMMY AND ME" CLASSES
This class is open to children approximately 20-28 months of age and their caregivers. Participants in the class explore and learn through multi-sensory experiences. Art, music, and movement are incorporated daily. Caregivers have as much fun as the kids!

DISCOVERY FRIDAYS
This is a new program to the Co-op on Friday mornings. It incorporates activities based around science, literature, cooking, arts & crafts, seasonal themes, listening to stories, learning songs and many hands-on activities. Children will have fun playing and learning as they discover the world around them.
