Glebe Cooperative Nursery School welcomes parents back into the classroom

By Julie LeBlanc 

New and returning children are already busy playing and learning together at Glebe Cooperative Nursery School (GCNS). They are meeting friends, interacting with their teachers, exploring their classroom, practising new routines and soaking up the last days of summer outside on the playground.

GCNS is very excited to welcome parents back into the classroom this year. Parents contribute in the classroom on a rotating basis. This cooperative structure engages parents and teachers to work together to create a positive early educational experience for the children. Duty parents act as teacher assistants in the classroom, preparing snacks, helping to guide activities and participating in play. Parents have the opportunity to see and share as the children play, learn, grow and form relationships with others. And of course, the children are quite eager and proud to show and share their school experience with their parents!

Glebe Cooperative Nursery School is a non-profit licensed childcare centre offering both a Toddler Program (ages 1.5–2.5 years) and a Preschool Program (ages 2.5–4.5 years).

GCNS accepts new registrations throughout the school year.
