Cooperative Nursery School  Founded in 1963, Rainbow Corners Nursery School is a cooperative, non-profit, non-sectarian nursery school.
RCNS is New Jersey licensed and NAEYC-accredited (National Association for the Education of Young Children). Our philosophy is that children are able to learn and grow through their active play. Children learn by doing since "play" is a child's work. We wish to foster children's social, emotional, intellectual and physical development through their own activity and discovery, as well as cultivate in them a positive self-image. We seek to help our children feel competent to learn, grow and trust themselves and others. WHAT IS A COOPERATIVE NURSERY SCHOOL? It is one that allows parents the opportunity participate in their child's first school experience.
RCNS co-op parents regularly serve as helpers in their children's classes once or twice a month.
This gives them the chance to observe their child's social and emotional growth over the course of the year.
Non-cooperative positions are also available for parents unable to work in the classroom.  NAEYC ACCREDITATION NAEYC accreditation certifies that RCNS is one of the finest pre-schools in the nation and is recognized for its age-appropriate program, excellent trained staff, sensitivity to families and parent involvement.
