The Greenbelt Nursery School is a cooperative school for young children. The cooperative nature of the School provides parents with a unique opportunity to participate in their children's first educational experience.
Greenbelt Nursery School offers nursery school classes for children ages two, three, and four as well as extended care programs. We are in session from September through early June. We offer full-day educational programs.
Extended care is open to children ages 3 and 4 who are enrolled in our nursery school classes. Children age 2 may also be accepted on a trial basis if their families and our staff agree that they are ready for it.
Our purpose as a parent cooperative School is to provide an enriching educational environment for young children and their parents, one that fosters a love of learning, awareness of self and others, and a sense of accomplishment built on a child's natural curiosity. We incorporate the knowledge and skills of parents and staff to create a child-centered environment within the multi - cultural and intergenerational Greenbelt community.
Our Nursery School and Extended Care programs are carefully planned to be developmentally appropriate. We recognize and cherish each child's stage of development. We listen to each child, and we keep parents informed as we assess each child's growth and development.
Greenbelt Nursery School is accredited by NAEYC's National Academy of Early Childhood Programs. It is one of only a few in the area to have received this distinction.
