Description/Philosophy: |
 |
|
We're a cooperative nursery school. The biggest
difference between us and most of the other schools
you'll find in the area is that we're a parent
cooperative. That means this is your school as much as
your child's. You will participate in the classroom and
give your energy and ideas to it. You'll play as big a
role in shaping your child as the directors do.
Any school can teach children. The good ones teach
you as well. A good school promotes growth and
development of its children. But the really outstanding
school enriches the lives of its grown-ups, too. That's
where we stand apart. Parents here find their own lives
take on more significance because they are in on the
process. Plus, they find new friends - people with whom
they can share the challenges and joys of raising
children.
We focus on the whole child. We offer a
program to promote the social, emotional, physical and
cognitive development of each child. Both classes offer
developmentally appropriate activities that facilitate
learning through play. The activity choices each day
include art, literature, science, math, cooking,
dramatic play, music and outdoor play. Our main goal is
to encourage the growth of a positive self-concept in
each child. |

License: |
Licensed by the
state, loved by the parents for 50 years!
LNS is licensed by the California State Department of
Social Services and fully conforms to all state laws
that provide for a safe and healthy environment. But the
best testimony to our success is the fact that we've
been around since 1953. We have parents who attended the
school as children and are now sending their children
here as well. |
