River Park Nursery is housed in a bright, spacious ground floor space with a large, private adjoining outdoor play area. Our main concern is the development of the individual child.



The educational goal is to enable each child to achieve the maximum realization of their unique potential. Our philosophy is to meet each child where he or she is and help him or her grow and develop from there without undue pressure. Children are encouraged to learn both from the formal program, and from other children who come from very diverse backgrounds. The school prides itself on the diversity of its families, and "trust, dignity, and respect for yourself and others" are keywords of our approach. All teachers are certified early childhood educators and/or have a masters degree in early childhood education, and a minimum of fifteen years teaching experience. Now in its 35th year, this parent coop offers parents the opportunity to work together with other parents and staff to maintain the educational program, and pleasant environment necessary for optimum growth and development of your child.
