Magic Years Cooperative Nursery School is a parent-run preschool in Manchester, MA that serves children from about 2.9 years through pre-kindergarten. The school operates a morning program during the school year, offers an extended small-group afternoon option, and runs a weekly-theme summer program for 3–5 year olds.
Magic Years Cooperative Nursery School is a cooperative early childhood program that operates during a school-year calendar (early September through early June). The regular school day runs in the mornings, with an optional extended afternoon program available. The school also offers a summer program held Monday–Friday.
Children are grouped in age-based classrooms and also take part in multi-age activities. The learning environment emphasizes social, emotional, physical and intellectual development and includes areas and materials for arts and crafts, puzzles and games, fine motor activities, water and sand tables, a carpenter's bench, science tools, dramatic play, and a quiet reading nook. The school goes outside daily and uses a playground with both grass and asphalt play areas and age-appropriate play structures.
Weekly enrichment is part of the program and includes activities such as music, yoga, and karate. The regular morning schedule is set for the school year; an extended small-group afternoon program is available to lengthen the day.
The school operates as a cooperative: parents take turns assisting in the classroom, support special events and fundraisers, are assigned roles that help manage the school, and participate in twice-yearly set-up/clean-up days.
An optional small-group extension of the school day that extends the morning program to 2:30 PM for extra time for learning, play and exploration with teachers and peers.
