SJPPNS was founded in 1951 by a group of dedicated moms and dads. We are a cooperative nursery school, administered and maintained by parents. Each class is directed by a credentialed teacher/director experienced in early childhood education and development. Required in-class parent participation ensures a high adult-to-child ratio, as well as low monthly tuition. All aspects of the preschool are run by parent volunteers including fundraising, janitorial, administration and teaching support. At SJPPNS, we believe in the individuality of children. Play is the work of young children and, through a play-based curriculum, parents and teachers facilitate their social, cognitive and physical growth in a safe, trusting environment.
