Cotati-Rohnert Park Co-Op Nursery School

This is a wonderful preschool. My 3 year old loves Ms. Sherry, and so do we! You can tell she really cares about each and every one of the kids. Initially, I was nervous about two things: the time commitment, and the possible dynamics of different parenting styles and personalities. It turns out that the time commitment isn’t much, especially when I weigh it against what my child receives. It also feels really gratifying to be involved in my child’s education, and comforting to know what goes on when she’s away from me. As far as the parenting styles & personalities go, they do a really good job of streamlining everything, so that everyone’s involvement and interactions are positive, respectful and consistent. A lot of thought and care has gone into the toys, activities, playground and indoor space. The overall feeling of this preschool is freedom and fun within an overall structure. We feel really lucky to be with CRPCNS.

We are going on our third year at the Co-​op. My 4 year old twins LOVE Ms. Sherry!
At first it was a BIG step when deciding upon a school bc there are so many. After talking to a few people and stopping by to meet the teachers, I knew this was the right place for us.
Ms. Sherry is so thoughtful and caring. She always goes the extra mile to make the play based learning experience an enriching and exciting moment for the kids. The families are VERY involved, which we love bc it has created a community of friendship for my family.
WE LOVE THE CO-​OP!

This is my daughter’s 3^rd year at the co-​op and I’m so thrilled that we have had such a wonderful experience. The place provides such a phenominal family atmosphere and at a very low cost compared to other pre-​schools in the area. I have friends who wish they could send their little ones to this school, but because they work full-​time, it’s not possible. Being as it’s a co-​op, the families must be involved — it’s not a «drop-​off and pick-​up» kind of place.
I really like, also, that this school provides a program for 2 year olds and encourages pre-​school even at that age!
I feel confident about my daughter’s «readiness» as she goes into Kindergarden next Fall. Thanks to three years of FANTASTIC preparedness at the Cotati-​Rohnert Park Co-​op Nursery School!!!

This place is great! It is a co-​op which means parents help out in the classroom and also help maintain the facility. Some people might think cleaning up the school at the end of the day or spending a few hours during a month doing yardwork too much, but it helps keeps costs down and the time in the classroom is great to learn how to be a better parent and have the support of the co-​op families.
I checked out about 3 other co-op’s and 2 pre-​schools and chose this one because it seemed like the most comfortable and safe environment for my daughter and I feel very lucky to have chosen so well.

I love this place. My son started here this last school year and it’s a family oriented but structured environment. The teachers are great. We’ll be going back again for summer and next year too! It is a co-​op so there is involvement in the school more than a non-​co-​op but that’s what a co-​op is! I love the community it’s bringing to myself and my son. If you’re looking for a day care — not the right place but if you’re looking for a place to spend time with your child and be a part of their education and development — this place can’t be beat!
