A Parent
Cooperative:
Children are not the only participants in our school's philosophy and
functioning: you are, too. MCNS is a non-profit parent cooperative
overseen by a board of parent volunteers. This and our parent
participation program are our most unique features and distinguish us from
other local nursery schools.The
parent participation program offers parents a very special opportunity to
help out in the classroom about once a month. Not only do you get to
experience your own child in a structured group setting, but you get to
share time with your child's peers and teachers as well. Plus, your child
receives the special assurance that his or her learning experience is a
family affair. Serving in the classroom is a wonderful way to learn about
children in general - and a very important way to be involved in your own
child's education from the very beginning. This participation can be
shared between parents, grandparents, caregivers, and special loved ones.
Though it is not mandatory to participate in the classroom, nearly all of
our parents do. They've found the experience to be extremely rewarding.

Philosophy:
This is the philosophy behind
all of our programs. Your child is a unique individual, who is learning
and developing at his or her own rate. We embrace that, and nurture that.
We work with each child to develop and improve self-esteem as well as
communication and socialization skills. Our professional staff provides a
safe and fun environment that encourages a child's natural curiosity. At
MCNS, your child can explore, create, and experiment freely. |

Mission Statement:
The nursery school is
responsible for helping preschool children develop a sense of self-esteem,
and learn to communicate with peers and adults in a safe, caring, and
challenging environment using play as a vehicle for learning. |

Our Organization:
The director is responsible for the
educational program at the nursery school. The director and the
professional staff meet frequently for planning sessions and evaluations.
The Board of Directors, which is an elected group of nursery school
parents, is responsible for the overall functioning of the school. It is
this board that selects and carries out the various fund raising events
and formulates school policy. The Board is also responsible for setting
tuition, salaries and approving any major expenditures.
