What is a cooperative preschool?
Crescenta Cañada Cooperative Nursery School is nurtured and operated by the families whose children attend our school. The parents at Crescenta Cañada are members of a cooperative community involved in their child’s play and educational experiences. Together, we share a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of self-esteem and a child’s healthy development that recognizes the value of learning through play.
What Parents Think
CCNS truly shaped who I am as a parent. The teachers are warm and deeply attuned to the kids, the community is real and lasting, and my children were genuinely loved here. It gave our whole family a foundation we'll carry forever.
— Elizabeth D.
We were looking for a place for our daughter to make friends. What we found was a community for our whole family. Our children love the variety of activities, from play-based learning to arts and crafts, and every day they're met with genuine warmth and care.
– Courtney L.
Our daughter still talks about her time at CCNS. It will definitely be a core memory for her, no question. The teachers treat every child as an individual, the community is genuinely supportive, and it gave her the perfect foundation before transitioning to kindergarten.
– Patrick M.
