In June 1946, a group of mothers met to plan and organize the Irondequoit Cooperative Nursery School. They were looking for a program that would provide their children a good early education and also develop important relationships with other children through play. It is in that philosophy that ICNS was born.
A Cooperative Nursery School ...
1. Allows parents to organize and run the school. Each family assists in the classroom approximately one morning each month and fulfills a school responsibility.
2. Fosters friendships between parents and families.
3. Provides an opportunity to observe your child in new situations during assisting days.
Our Program
The curriculum includes colors, shapes, holidays, seasons, animals, nature and much more.
Our Goals
* Teach skills such as listening, following directions, doing a task, sharing and recognizing acceptable behavior.
* Allows children to meet and play with new friends.
* Builds new relationships between children and adults outside the child's family.
* Nurture self-confidence and independence in children.
The Irondequoit Cooperative Nursery School is a non-discriminatory, non-profit organization with no religious affiliation.
