Description: The Madison Cooperative Nursery School is a state licensed, non-profit preschool. The Co-op has been established for over 50 years and remains the oldest nursery school in Madison, N.J. Our classes are staffed with 2 teachers and a participating parent.
Our philosophy is based on the individuality of each child and to provide an environment conducive to social and emotional development through creative play and hands on exploration. We provide a secure, nurturing, and caring atmosphere for children to learn self reliance and emotional maturity.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
