Cotati-Rohnert Park Co-Op Nursery School

Serving Sonoma County families through care and community since 1953

A 501(c)3 nonprofit cooperative preschool, CRPCNS was created in 1953 by a group of local mothers intent on raising our county’s children as a community.

Today, we utilize our little red schoolhouse to teach our children about the earth, about empathy, kindness, self-confidence, and a lifelong love for learning.

Small Class Sizes

10-16 students. We maintain a 1:4 student to adult ratio to focus individually on each child.

Gentle Transition from Home to School

Parents work and play alongside their children.

Experienced Teachers

Students and parents grow under the guidance of teachers who hold permits from the California Commission on Teaching Credentials (CCTC).

Whole Child Philosophy

Our programs promote the physical, social-emotional, and intellectual development of students.

Caring Community

Because families are so involved, children and parents often develop close and lasting friendships with the other families and teachers in our community.

Licensed

CA child care license #490102400. Teachers pass rigorous background and safety checks.

"I love being part of a community of people who are gathered for the greater good of our children. Never have I encountered a person who was not willing to step in and answer a question, offer assistance or just generally be there for each other as we all navigate learning new behaviors and exposing our children to new methods of play, social interactions, etc."

— CRPCNS Parent

“We have two girls going through this school and it is the best educational decision we ever could have made. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a school that is also a community, where you get to be involved in all aspects of your child’s preschool experience, this is it!”
