Norwood Cooperative Nursery

Norwood Cooperative Nursery School (NCNS) has been fostering a love of learning in young minds for over 50 years. Located in Norwood, Massachusetts, our preschool embraces the power of play-based learning and emphasizes collaboration between enthusiastic teachers and involved parents.

Our Philosophy

Inspired by the belief that every child learns and grows differently, we provide a nurturing environment where children can explore, discover their unique potential, and make lasting friendships. We celebrate individuality and encourage children to embrace their diverse interests and abilities.

Our Programs

We offer two preschool programs to meet the needs of families:

Preschool I: For three-year-olds (2, 3, or 4 days per week)

Preschool II: For four-year-olds (4 days per week)

Both programs feature age-appropriate activities that encourage:

• Social development through group games and collaborative play
• Physical development through dramatic play, outdoor exploration, and movement activities
• Emotional development through guided discussions and social-emotional learning
• Intellectual development through exploration, discovery, and creativity

Unique Elements of NCNS

At NCNS, we believe in the power of the cooperative experience. This means:

• Parent Involvement: Parents play an active role in school administration, maintenance, fundraising, and committees.
• Shared Responsibility: We believe in shared ownership and encourage parent participation in classroom activities.
• Individualized Learning: Our teachers tailor their approach to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each child.
