Pre School Description

The parents of the Lake Forest Cooperative Nursery School understand the demands of a familys daily life and that is why we have voted in some important changes, in which parent participation is at a minimum, but learning still remains at a maximum. The Lake Forest Cooperative Nursery School is a non-profit organization formed and operated by its members to provide nursery school education for their children. It is a NJ State Licensed Facility with a Certified Teacher.
Special values accrue to parents as well as to children in this type of nursery school: a new appreciation for each parent for his/her own child as a person; a new insight about supporting his/her own childs sense of adequacy while grooming him/her emotionally for comfortable social living; new understanding of the patterns of child growth; a sense of comradeship with teachers; skills in group membership; and community service that is integrated with family life. Cooperative nursery schools have the unique feature of being organized and administered by the parents who in turn employ qualified teachers to direct the educational program. In cooperatives, parents can assume some of the responsibilities. Mothers, fathers, and other family members take the place of teachers aides. Being a part of the classroom as a helping parent has been a much loved part of our program for parent and child. This cooperative environment enables discussion and exchange with other parents and the teacher regarding child development, family/child relationships and access to the larger community and its resources. This function will continue on in the same manner it has in the past, requiring parents to be in the classroom on a rotating basis. With 10 children in each class parents would need to be available for 1 school week out of every 10 weeks.
