Crestwood Hills Cooperative Nursery School, Los Angeles

We offer three classes for preschool aged children: our Morning "Three" Year Old Class, our Morning "Four" Year Old Class, and our afternoon "Three" Year Old Class. We also offer an all day Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) Program. Classes meet five days per week, except during July and August, when classes meet Monday through Thursday. We believe that children who experience this philosophy delight in their sense of independence and accomplishment, accept responsibility, and like and respect themselves and others. Our approach to preschool education allows children the freedom to discover and experience their own creativity, explore their world, and develop inner strengths and resources. Mutual respect and cooperation are encouraged, as are socialization, problem solving, and, of course, having fun. With this foundation of confidence and enthusiasm, our children continue exploring and discovering in their later years and are prepared for future academic success. The role of the adult in this environment is to assist and guide, rather than to direct or entertain. Our Pre-K Program is designed for our oldest children. Typically, these are children who have already participated in two years of preschool and are either too young for Kindergarten or would benefit from an additional year of preschool.
