Preschool in Portland, Maine; co-op style

The Children’s Nursery School (CNS) is a co-operative preschool nestled in the courtyard of downtown’s historic State Street Church. Daily, students nurture meaningful friendships while challenging their social, emotional, creative and intellectual boundaries. We offer tours of our program to interested families throughout the year – we’d love to see you!

 

 

CNS turned out to be an educational and developmental process for our entire family, not just for our four year old. Our amazing teachers and alloparenting community have inspired confidence and restraint, exploration and contemplation… simultaneously. I cherish the year we’ve already had, and am eager to meet the year ahead.

Not only does our daughter have wonderful teachers and school friends at CNS, she has a network of other parents with whom she feels extremely comfortable. One of my favorite parts of CNS is watching these relationships develop, and knowing that her first experience of the world without me is rich with interesting, thoughtful, loving adults.
