Sound the alarm! These last two weeks, our JK class was inspired to create a fire station.
This special project presented so many opportunities for play-based learning: creative vision, collaboration, planning ahead, problem-solving, leadership, compromise, and a shared sense of pride. Children read books relating to firefighters, held planning meetings, shared stories about their own experiences with fire trucks, executed the construction of their vision with shared materials and props, made repairs, and even created a firefighter training school obstacle course.

Calling all families of children who will be 18 months to 2.5 years old this fall! There are a few remaining spaces in select programs for the 2026-27 school year. Inquire today by reaching out to our Membership Team at [email protected] or visiting our website.

Last week, classes observed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. For our youngest preschoolers, teachers shared photos of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for children to interact with. For our oldest class, Junior Kindergarten, teachers went into detail about who Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was, why we celebrate his birthday, and how his values help create a community of kindness.

As we look to celebrate 75 years in 2026, a gift to Lincoln Park Cooperative Nursery School this will ensure we remain a special place for children and their families to experience school for the first time.
