Ukiah Co-op Nursery School

Ukiah Co-op Nursery School We are a non-sectarian cooperative nursery school. Our aim is to provide an optimal developmental experience for children ages 3 through 5. How does it all work?

The Ukiah Cooperative Nursery School is a non-sectarian cooperative nursery school. Its aim is to provide an optimal developmental experience for children and a valuable educational experience for families. Joining our cooperative nursery school is a family affair. It is a learning and growing experience for the whole family: mother, father and child. Our program offers parents more than inexpensive school for their children. Parents gain perspective by watching their children in a group of contemporaries, by exchanging experiences with other parents, and by discussion with the teacher. It is probably safe to say that no parents ever participated in a cooperative nursery school without modifying their attitudes towards their own children and towards others. We run on a tradition school calendar and follow the Ukiah Unified School dates. There are two groups of 15 students. Two-day group consists of three year olds turning four and attend school Tuesdays and Thursdays. Parents of two-day students attend class as a Teacher Assistant two days per month. Three-day group consists of four and five year olds and attend school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Parents of three-day students act as Teachers Assistants three days per month. Parent work days are scheduled in advance. On every school day there are three parents in addition to the Program Director (or teacher). The parent role of a teacher assistant is a pro-active one. Traditionally, participating parents have been encouraged to take as active a role as they want to assume, to be directed by the professionally-trained teacher. Each parent assumes responsibility in the areas in which he/she feels competent and comfortable. The participating parent never functions solely as an observer or clean-up helper but actively engages in the daily curriculum as prepared and led by the Program Director. Experience has shown us that parents who give the most receive the greatest benefits. Parents join together to provide maintenance and care of the school grounds. Periodically, they design and build equipment, or improve the landscaping or play areas. By sharing responsibilities of membership and by working together, parents gain new friends and perspectives about their children. Our parents offer the school much more than tuition – they bring their talents, skills, and experience. A wide variety of personalities and abilities are needed.

Free Open Play Date for our youngest players (ages 4-7), Sunday, August 9th

This one's for our Grassroots-aged kids, born 2019 through 2022. No experience needed, no commitment, just a chance to come kick the ball around and see what it's all about.

9:00-11:00 AM at Ukiah High School.

We're also growing this year: we're adding games to our U8 program for the first time. If you've got a kid on the fence, this is a great low-pressure way to get a feel for it before the season kicks off.

And here's the good news: registration for Fall Grassroots is still open. We'd rather keep the door open a little longer than see a kid miss out on playing this fall.

For the free play date, bring shin guards, water, and cleats or tennis shoes. Ages 4-7 only, born 2019-2022.

Link to register for the play date is in the comments.

Built on Grit. Rooted in First Touches.

These are two of MCSA's biggest programs. Grassroots Academy is for our youngest players (U6/U8), and DSL is for U10 through U15. Both are local, affordable, and part of the same pathway that's produced our select team rosters and coaching staff.

If your family's been on the fence, this is the deadline. Registration closes July 31st.
