Pittsford Cooperative Nursery School has been in continuous operation for over 50 years in the village of Pittsford, NY. Preschool children and their parents are provided the opportunity to share their first school experience and build special friendships. The tradition continues today with the love and support of parents like you. 

Our Teachers

Our experienced and caring teachers work together with every parent to build a unique atmosphere emphasizing social development and learning through play and a wide variety of multi-sensory experiences. Parent participation includes assisting in the classroom on a rotating basis, driving on field trips and serving on on or more committees. PCNS strives to maintain a 4:1 ratio of children to adults in the classroom.

Parent Participation

Through regular classroom involvement, parents gain first-hand knowledge of their children's interests, abilities and friendships, and children gain an added sense of security and self-esteem.
