Our daughter recently finished her second year at NCCP and now will be moving on to kindergarten…read more NCCP provides a supportive community experience and is a great place for your child to grow, learn and strongly supports emotional development. NCCP has helped prepare our kid for the challenges of kindergarten. Both teacher Cathy and teacher Liz have vast experience and are energized in their work with kids and parents. You see their genuine care and concern for each kiddo every day. I have made great friends and connections with other parents. The parent education/support has been incredibly helpful and the positive parenting methods taught I will continue to use as she grows up.

She was just income for the school not a person. If you pay for preschool your child should receive education. I pulled her out and put here in the Kingston Coop preschool.

The attention to detail and extra steps taken ensure the children are well cared for.

They love their teachers and we, as parents, are grateful to April and her team for always being so devoted to development and continuous improvement.

My son has attended this co-op preschool for about a year, and he gets so much out of it. I love…read morethat it meets on Saturday mornings, which means his dad can attend with him. It is so awesome to see pics of my two guys building ramps together or cuddling during story time, and my fella really loves seeing our son grow and change along with the other kids in the class. The second thing I adore about our class is the talent: our teacher, Monica, is actually an opera singer, and she brings her beautiful singing to every circle time. Anyone who's heard a group of parents droning along to a song knows what a blessing a gifted teacher can be. Monica also provides a very laid back, attachment friendly style. When my son was scared of one of the circle time routines, she altered the practice to help him adjust, and she came up with clever ideas to help ease him into the routines of preschool. We also have a gifted "parent educator" who doesn't cram education down our throats but offers ad hoc support, tips and understanding. Third pro is the mixed ages. Any kid 1 - 3 years old can enroll. The bigger kids learn sibling skills and get to show off for the littler ones, and the younger ones get to copy bigger kids. It's a fascinating process to observe how fast the little ones learn. Finally, I love that I feel comfortable and at home in our class. The class doesn't operate along gender lines, which makes it feel queer friendly. The other parents who attend with their kids are friendly and open. Our teacher has a lot to do with that atmosphere. Cons? As I see it, this preschool's only flaw is that the co-op is perhaps too laid-back about organizing, which means we hover on the brink of under-enrollment. In short, I couldn't recommend our Saturday preschool more. Even though my own son is close to aging out, I hope the class will continue for many more years because it is so wonderful.

We'll be sad to age out (though it won't be for a while) . . . hopefully by then the age range will be expanded so our son can continue to have fun being part of this community.

The current pre-3 teacher (teacher Jeanne) is committed to play based learning and provides a great environment for kids and parents of many different temperments. Being a cooperative school, a parent or caregiver needs to be in the classroom for one of the two days a week, but I find I enjoy the days in the class, as I can watch my son engage with his peers, and on the days I'm not in the classroom, I engage with mine (the other parents).It's been a great community for both of us. if you are a caregiver with a flexible enough schedule to participate, it's a wonderful, cost effective school experience.

In general, our experience with all programs has been positive. The general ed program has some truly stellar teachers and admin staff. School spirit is lovely and our children developed a true love of learning. Class sizes are reasonable (in general, 20-25 students). Our kids have loved their specialist teachers for library, PE and Music. We were part of the PACE Program for 2 years. This was a fantastic opportunity for building community with other parents and participating more actively in an enriched learning experience. Our child got to take a spanish class once a week and had monthly field-trips - all because parents were involved and provided extra man power to allow these activities to happen regularly. Currently, we are part of the NFP program. Here, we are technically homeschooling under the guidance of state-certified teachers. Our children attend a few classes a week based on interest. These classes are project based with lots of social skills development. COVID notes: NSD was the first district in the USA to close in March 2020 and has remained closed through the time of writing with no re-entry date/timeline announced. The superintendent has been both praised and criticized for her decisions in this regard. While this is a frustrating time for all, the decisions of the district are clearly based on science-based evidence for best practice during the pandemic. One of the heavier criticisms of this prolonged closure is that student mental health has reached crisis points. While much of this evidence is anecdotal, I have not seen efforts from the district to allocate funds and qualified staff to addressing this crisis. For my family, we have sought mental health support from outside private resources.
