West Chester Cooperative Nursery School

Where learning is shared, and sharing is learned.

Parent-Led Schooling

We believe the best way for children to learn and grow is when their parents take an active role in their education from a young age. At WCCNS, families are the cornerstone of how we work. From volunteering in the classrooms to running the school board, it’s important that you not only know what’s happening here but are a part of making our school so successful.

Hands-ON Learning

Learning isn’t just about letters and numbers, it’s about discovery and curiosity. Children learn through play as much as they do through traditional classwork, and at WCCNS we want to give them the opportunity to experience learning in a way that keeps them excited for years to come.

Right-Sized Classes

A critical part of any child’s development is learning how to interact with other students and adults. We tailor our classes to give our outstanding teachers the opportunity to connect with each and every child, while also helping prepare them for the challenges of elementary school. This isn’t merely just a place for them to learn, but to grow.

“It is amazing to watch your child socialize, learn, and emotionally mature in a safe environment. This type of involvement in your child’s learning is only possible at a cooperative school.”

— Lauren Lintz, parent of two former WCCNS children
