Parents work in partnership with the teachers to support their child’s experiences, discover new approaches to child rearing and re-examine their established parenting patterns. Adults deserve the same respect, guidance and caring from each other and from the teacher as the children receive. At Cupertino Co-op Nursery School, children as well as adults learn and grow together in an atmosphere of appreciation and acceptance.

Parents have direct influence in shaping the school. It is the hand in hand cooperation between the parents and the credentialed teachers that determines the total program each year. Many cultures and traditions are represented by our member families, thus exposing the children at a very young age to various differences and similarities between people.

Perhaps only during the precious preschool years will you be as able to involve yourself in your child’s education. To see if our school is the right fit for your family, please come visit our school. Ask questions of the current parents and observe the children.

"I was thinking this morning that I wish Joshua could stay here for his entire education, it such a wonderful place." - Frances Meier

The City of Sunnyvale has selected CCNS to receive the 2007 Award for Excellence in Early Education. CCNS was selected by the Child Care Advisory Board to receive the award in the Pre-School/Child Care Center category. This award recognizes child care providers who are committed to providing outstanding early education experiences for the children of the local community. Every year, the City of Sunnyvale's Child Care Advisory Board selects one preschool or preschool-age child care center to receive this award. In 2005 and 2007, CCNS was the proud recipient of this award.

In 2005, our very own Michelle Edgecumbe won the CCPPNS Teacher/Director award for her outstanding service to our cooperative school.
