Visit the Niskayuna Cooperative Nursery School on Saturday, March 25th from 12:30-2 pm to decide if cooperative play-based education is right for you and your preschooler! Do you want to be involved in your child's first school experience? Are you looking for a place that creates a community? Then check us out! Bring your child, play with the toys, and meet the teacher and current families during our open house. There's lots of reading, crafts in which the KIDS get to create art rather than mimicking the adults' idea of a masterpiece, clever fun ways to teach the skills needed for kindergarten, and always a period of unstructured time for children to learn how to interact with each other, an essential and often-forgotten skill needed for school. Come see how it works! Bring your child and meet our co-op family. By the way, potty-training is NOT required and we are in a nut-free building. We are allergy aware and plan all snacks and edible activities around the children's allergies. We are located at 852 Ashmore Ave., Niskayuna. We rent space inside Congregation Gates of Heaven (the school is not affiliated with any religion) and have a garden and playground outside.
