The Maywood Cooperative Nursery School is an educational organization certified by the State of NJ. It is a non-profit, non-sectarian, inter-racial group owned and administered by the parents of the children enrolled. In 1970, in accordance with the NJ Dept. of Education's guidelines, the school was accepted by the vestry of St. Martin's Church in Maywood, NJ. In Sept. 1971, we opened our school doors to the first classes. Our preschool encourages, educates, and enriches children's lives using the philosophy of learning through constructive play. We support a classroom atmosphere of mutual respect, positive self-awareness, and learning at each child's individual pace. The Co-op trinity of parent-teacher-child helps foster a warm and nurturing learning foundation to continue to build upon in the years to come. With our Director, Liz Jones, and an experienced team of teachers, we are proud of the many years dedicated to helping children grow and prepare for their next adventure.
