First Day of Classes

Thursday and Friday September 9 & 10

9:15 - 11:45 a.m.

First full day of classes begin!

Grayslake Cooperative Nursery School offers a professionally designed, thematic curriculum; complete with lesson plans, assessments and progress reports.

Children learn through hands-on play and structured activities in our well organized learning centers. Our classroom is organized into "learning environments." These are the places within our classroom where the children can find the toys and materials related by theme, interest, and skills. These activities and toys can be used independently by the children, or with teacher direction, to reinforce and enrich skills and concepts they need. Learning environments are an excellent way to individualize the curriculum to meet the varying needs of young children.
