Village Nursery School

Village Nursery is such a bright light in our lives! We were nervous looking for daycare options in the Bay Area for our daughter, and Village came highly recommended from a family friend. This place is amazing and we're so lucky we found such a wonderful co-op that relies on play based, child centered curriculum! Our daughter has now been here for seven months and absolutely loves the teachers and other students! The parent and teacher commitment and involvement is unmatched and it's been so fun to see how much our daughter has grown here since she started!

Finding the right daycare for our first child felt overwhelming, but Village Nursery School made the transition so easy. From the moment we walked in, the teachers and staff welcomed us with open arms, creating a warm and supportive environment. The parent community is just as wonderful, making us feel like part of a family. Our daughter absolutely loves it—she’s growing, learning, and having so much fun every day. We couldn’t ask for a better place for her!

I feel so lucky that we found VNS! It’s not just a regular preschool/daycare. The teachers and families are so committed to make this place better in many ways! This is my daughter’s first school experience so it took her a few weeks to adjust but teachers and families provided a lot of support to make the transitions as easy as possible. After a few months, she loved going to school and couldn't wait to go to school everyday! One thing I really like is that the kids also get to go on field trips once a month, which I think is very unique that other schools don’t have. Overall, I agree that it does require more effort to join a co-op school due to many obligations but you also get to make friends, learn from other parents, and have that community support through family meetings and workdays.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Village Nursery School. Our son started there when he was just 24 months old, and while the transition from being at home full-time to a school environment was challenging, the teachers and other parents made sure we felt supported every step of the way. It was clear from the beginning that the school's co-op format is one of its greatest strengths, allowing families to be directly involved in their child's learning and development. As parents, we felt completely embraced by the community; the sense of camaraderie is unmatched. The co-op model really fosters an environment of mutual support, where everyone feels like they are working together to create a nurturing space for the kids. The teachers at Village Nursery School are truly exceptional. They are some of the most patient, kind, and knowledgeable individuals we've ever met. It's clear that they deeply care for each child and are dedicated to creating an environment where every child can thrive. Our son adores his teachers and looks forward to seeing them every day. Their guidance has helped him grow in so many ways, from developing social skills to learning how to express himself more confidently. We've seen firsthand how much thought and effort they put into their teaching. One of the things we appreciate most is how the staff made sure to keep us updated on our son's progress, especially during those early weeks. They were always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and offer reassurance. That level of communication made the transition so much easier for both us and our son. Now, our son is absolutely thriving. He loves school and gets excited every morning to go. It's so heartwarming to know that he's not only learning but also building strong friendships and growing in a safe, loving environment. If you're looking for a school that truly feels like a family and offers the most supportive, special community, I recommend enrolling your child at Village Nursery School. It's a place where children--and parents--feel truly valued.

To say we love Village Nursery is an understatement! When looking for school for our 2 year old to attend after only being with us or our parents was really daunting. How were we supposed find a place for the most important person based on just yelp reviews? Well the answer is Village Nursery! We’ve been there for a little over 6 months and it’s been incredible. From the moment we met the teachers and other parents we could tell how incredible this place is. Our daughter has just fallen in love and talks about her classmates and teachers so lovingly and misses them on the weekend. She does daily activities, is learning so much and she even surprises me on occasion and cleans up after herself unprompted at home while singing the school clean up song. We couldn’t be happier and I know you would be too!
