Community Cooperative Nursery School

At Community Cooperative Nursery School (CCNS), we believe that early childhood education is a journey that should be filled with discovery, creativity, and joy. Founded in 1953, we are one of the few cooperative preschools in Connecticut, proudly accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Our programs are designed to stimulate each child's curiosity, develop positive social skills, and encourage creative and emotional expression. We offer drop-off classes for two-year-olds, three-year-olds, and four-year-olds, as well as a unique Twos Drop Off Program. Our outdoor classroom provides an additional space for exploration and learning.
