A Cooperative Nursery School

West Village Nursery School, founded in 1962, is a cooperative nursery school of 40 to 45 families. It is owned and operated by parents and housed in a building it has owned for 40 years. Now in its sixth decade, the school is licensed by the state of New York and staffed by a professional director and experienced teachers with master’s degrees in early childhood education. The staff has full responsibility for the educational program. Parents share all other tasks, including admissions, fund raising, house maintenance and computer operations. A commitment of time and interest is essential.
