The following announcement came from Watertown Cooperative Nursery School:
Families with young children are invited to an Open House/Open Play session at Watertown Cooperative Nursery School (WCNS). This free event will take place at the school on Tuesday, July 30 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
At the event, caregivers can learn about WCNS’s approach and program offerings for the upcoming school year, including flexible schedule options and a play-based, child-led approach. Children will be invited to explore the WCNS classroom, interact with other children, and meet our licensed teachers.
Founded in 1952 by a group of parents affiliated with MIT, Watertown Cooperative Nursery School remains dedicated to making families an integral part of their children’s preschool experience. Parents volunteer as classroom helpers and board members. WCNS emphasizes the importance of free play for children’s cognitive, social, and physical development.
For generations, the school has fostered a cohesive community of families. “WCNS connects my family to a caring, supportive community at this important time in my children’s lives,” says Emily Avery-Miller, co-president of the Board of Directors. “We’re all learning together, and we look forward to the new friends and new growth that the upcoming year will bring.”
The Open Play event will take place at Watertown Cooperative Nursery School, 124 Watertown Street, Suite 1E, Watertown. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP at www.watertowncoop.org.
