A play centered nursery school that focuses primarily on socialization
for children ages 3-5. We have existed in the Niskayuna area for 23
years thanks to our wonderful teachers, Ellie Ellis and Halli Holmes.
Our nursery school is also special because we are a co-op, which means
that the parents are an integral part of the daily function of the school.
All parents serve as helping parents in the classroom on a rotating
basis as well as select various committees to help out with. These committees
can be anything from helping our teachers to select books for the month
to serving on the school's executive board. Our children blossom during
this first school experience and friends we make at the co-op feel very
much like family.
