Glen Rock

The Glen Rock Cooperative Nursery School was founded in 1965 and has grown continuously for over 50 years. Our school uniquely combines the finest pre-school education with parental participation at every level. We offer an ideal atmosphere for allowing each individual child to grow emotionally and intellectually in a group setting while allowing parents the special opportunity to both witness their child's growth and to share in their first formal educational experience. Our philosophy is based on Learning Through Play, ensuring all developmental activities are structured with particular goals and skills for children to acquire by doing. This approach allows us to maintain small student-to-teacher ratios, providing personalized attention to each child.

Our programs cater to children from Toddler & Me to Transitional Kindergarten, including a STEAM program. Each classroom is designed to promote socialization, language development, music and art skills, basic mathematics, and natural science experiences. We are proud to have experienced, New Jersey state certified pre-school teachers who provide a nurturing educational environment and guide the children's exploration of the creative centers in the classroom. The Glen Rock Community Church serves as our home, offering a safe and welcoming space for our community.

Our Board of Directors, composed of parents and a professional Director, ensures that our curriculum and daily activities adhere to all state and local regulations. We are a non-profit, interfaith, and interracial organization dedicated to providing the enrichment of the preschool child's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual growth.
