We believe that children can feel secure only when they understand
and trust a set of limits. Their imagination, curiosity, and interests
need time to wander, expand, and develop within these limits.
Cooperative nursery schools are administered and maintained by
the parents, allowing everyone to grow and learn together. The
special nature of Glenbrook is the close working relationship between
parents and teachers. Our approach builds a sense of community and
togetherness for parents and children.
