School Objectives

The goal of Sturbridge Cooperative Nursery School
is to help our preschool children
learn to work and play with other children,
to give them the opportunity to work and play with different equipment and toys,
to foster growth and independence in each child,
to promote healthy habits and to prepare them for kindergarten.

The Cooperative Experience

The Sturbridge Nursery School is a cooperative experience
where parent/guardian involvement is crucial to the success of the school.
All parents/guardians are scheduled to volunteer in the classroom two weeks
during the school year and to help with maintenance of the building throughout the year.
This greater involvement allows parents/guardians to share in and add
to their child’s preschool experience and
allows the children to see that their education is an important part of family life.
