Parents Nursery School is a nonprofit, parent-run cooperative preschool in Palo Alto that offers part-time, play-based early education and parent education for young children. The school is organized and administered by participating families together with professional teachers.
The program emphasizes learning through play, with classroom activities designed to support imagination, social interaction, language and emotional development. Parent education meetings are held approximately once a month to support families in understanding child development and in applying progressive, developmentally appropriate practices.
The school uses outdoor play spaces and a yard with play structures and sandbox as part of everyday activity. Snack is provided during the morning session, and teachers structure a balance of self-initiated and guided activities including stories, music, art, and outdoor play.
Professional teachers work alongside classroom parents; the teachers meet or exceed state requirements for early childhood educators. Families share responsibilities that include weekly teaching days, participation in governance, and general maintenance and support tasks.
