Novato Parents Nursery School

This is more than a school or a place to drop off your child for a few hours. This is a community of amazing and caring families led by the most dynamic and enthusiastic staff of teachers. Because the school is a co-op you are involved in the classroom and in your child's experience at the school and you get to experience first hand how much they grow and learn during their time at NPNS. It is a play based program with a PreK component and the kids get to be creative, enjoy outside play, fun activities and have a great time. My son has flourished in this school and that is due to the love and guidance our teachers have given him. He is easily bored and is constantly looking for a challenge and they have risen to the task. They see the child for the individual that they are and bring out the best in that child. Our teachers are not the only thing that sets NPNS apart from other programs. The working parents and grandparents that are in the classroom treat my child with love and compassion and it is an example of how a community works.

This preschool is everything I wanted for my son's first school experience and more. This is not a school where you just drop off and pick up your child. You are involved and informed about what happens during your child's day. The teachers are amazing and use positive discipline to manage behavior. You get to meet like-minded families and have an instant community of support. It does not look like the prettiest of schools but it has been around a long time and has everything the children need to be safe and learn.

I absolutely love my son's preschool. The teachers are all great and you can see and feel how much they care for and connect with each child. All of the parents take turns actively participating in the classroom on their workday and it truly becomes a community raising and educating each other's kids in a loving environment. The parents connect with each other as peers and as friends and provide that much more support to participating families because of the co-op environment. This is far more than just a great preschool for your child; it's a wonderful community and I am lucky to be a part of it.
