Description: Founded in 1975, the Children's Nursery School (CNS) is a state-licensed co-operative nursery school in downtown Portland. Our child-centered, creative program allows children to learn through discovery and exploration. Both teacher and parents guide that experience by providing a rich environment with a careful balance of structure and free play.
We offer a flexible, four-day program for 16 children, ages 3 through 5. Our lead teacher is Kate Williams-Hewitt. Our assistant teacher is Resa Jones.
Parents are not only the administrators of the school, they are the most important resources for the teachers. The teachers depend on co-op members to bring their unique personal resources to create a curriculum that reflects each year's particular group.
In addition to the flexible and evolving curriculum, the school also has a rich history of tradition, including the Grand Bazaar and the Parade to the Western Promenade.
