At Sierra Madre Community Nursery School, our goal is to provide an environment where both children and parents can learn and grow, together and as individuals.
In a cooperative nursery school such as Sierra Madre Community Nursery School, parents are responsible for the day to day operation of the school.
Financing is on a cost sharing, labor sharing plan, designed by the parents themselves.
Each participant family is required to contribute on an equal basis, and encouraged to participate in the coop as much as time and interest permit.
Sierra Madre Community Nursery School admits families of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to families at the school.
It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin in administrations of its educational policies, scholarships and other school administered programs.
