The goal at the Winchester Cooperative Nursery
School (WCNS) is to give children a positive first
impression of education. Its teachers believe that
children learn through play. Daily programs offer
activities like painting, singing, climbing, building,
story time, snack time, and dress-up.
WCNS has been an integral part of the education
of Winchester children since it was founded in
1968. It is a parent-run, non-denominational school
for children ages 2.1 to 5 years old dedicated to
providing each child with a positive and enriching
first school experience. Parents actively participate
in educational and operational components of the
school by parent-helping in the classrooms and
serving on school-wide committees and on the
Board of Trustees.
The WCNS curriculum is play-based and child-
centered. Children are provided the materials and
the space and given the freedom to explore. They
acquire knowledge while sharing in the discovery of
their physical and social worlds.
WCNS offers toddler, preschool, and Pre-K
classes. The program is complemented by a
music and movement component, a staff literacy
consultant, and an artist-in-residency program
spearheaded in 2011.
The Winchester Cooperative Nursery School is
located in the Unitarian Church of Winchester at
478 Main Street.
