Novato Parents Nursery School INC

I learned about NPNS through my sister and sister in law, they both sent their kids here and had really positive experiences. I am so happy we started our daughter this year. It is a coop so there is some family involvement like working one day a week in the preschool which is one of the main reasons I joined. I love being able to get a first hand look of my daughter learning through play and how she is interacting with her peers. I also love that it is mainly outdoors, play based, child centered, and Reggio Emilia inspired. The teachers are so supportive, nurturing, and have so much knowledge on child development. If a coop preschool can work for your schedule I highly recommend enrolling your child. I am so happy to have found this special school/community.

I have had both of my children (ages 3.5 and 5) at Novato Parents Nursery School for almost two years now and couldn't be happier with the way they have grown both socially and academically. The teachers foster a safe learning environment, are responsive to the children's needs, and give them the confidence to use their own voices to work out disputes, learn how to share, and make friendships bloom. I have enjoyed being an active part of the school and watching my kids grow. Also, I have found a wonderful community of mothers here and feel very certain my children will be ready for kindergarten when they start!

It is rare to find a place where both you and your child can grow - Novato Parents Nursery School is one such place. We started with the mommy & me program when my son was 2 years old. This allowed both of us to become familiar with the teachers and program. When my son was old enough, 2 1/2 years old, we enrolled in the preschool program. My son thrived in the play-based learning environment. I appreciated that while I was helping in the classroom I was also learning from experienced preschool teachers how to use positive discipline.

Wonderful experience and interaction with teachers and school community. Great parent co-op nursery school and friendly and caring parents. My family are new to Novato city and my 2.5 yo daughter started going to this school for the very first time. She wakes up every morning and wanted me to take her to school☺️

Such an awesome school. My 2/12 year old daughter goes here and absolutely loves it. The teachers are great and the community is wonderful. It’s a great group of children and moms. It’s nice being involved in the school and with my daughter. The kids are always happy, playing and exploring outdoors or building and doing some kind of artwork inside. I love that the lids can choose what they want to do and just be kids and explore. My daughter had learned so much since she started here in Sept 2017....it’s amazing. Talking up and storm, singing, counting, learning to play with others, painting and just having fun. The school is well organized, clean, safe and a place where I can trust my daughter being at all day. Great little gem in Novato.
