- Grayslake, IL: The Grayslake Cooperative Nursery School (GCNS) will be holding an Open House on Saturday, January 28from 10 am to 12 pm for families of children ages 2-5 interested in registering for the 2012-2013 school year.
Families are invited to tour the school, meet staff members, and talk with alumni families. The oldest cooperative nursery school in the area, GCNS offers a variety of two-day, three-day and five-day options for children between the ages of 2 and 5. The 2012-2013 school year will mark the school’s 37th year in the community. GCNS is located on Route 137 at The Shops of Prairie Crossing in Grayslake.
As GCNS Director Meredith Price notes, “GCNS is excited about the success of programs such as our Enrichment class for 4 and 5 year-olds! This provides an excellent opportunity to extend early math and literacy learning through more hands-on activities. Parents have found that offering a five-day a week option helps prepare children for the longer school day when they begin Kindergarten. We look forward to meeting families and introducing them to a cooperative-style preschool at the Open House.”
Registration for former GCNS families begins on Monday, January 30th Registration will be open to the public on Monday, February 6. Information on class schedules and registration may also be found on our website at www.grayslake-coop.com or by calling 847-223-9820.
GCNS welcomes families from Grayslake, Hainesville, Round Lake, Gurnee, Mundelein, Libertyville and surrounding areas. The preschool has been providing area children with a quality preschool experience for more than thirtyfive years since its founding in 1976 by a group of local mothers looking for an enriching and nurturing preschool.
Classes are taught by certified teachers, but as a cooperative, parents and staff work together to provide children with a positive school experience. As educational research consistently demonstrates, parental involvement in schools is an essential element in childhood success in school—and the Grayslake Cooperative takes that message to heart as parents and educators are dedicated to developing children academically, emotionally, socially and physically in a nurturing, family-focused environment.
