The El Segundo Co-op Nursery School believes that every child is a unique individual. The entire educational approach deals with development. There is no emphasis on any one particular aspect but rather all the activities and lessons planned deal with as many of these areas as possible. We combine individual as well as group activities. We encourage discovery, independent thinking and as many hands on experiences as possible. At this stage of development, it is essential that the children have a variety of concrete experiences to make learning more meaningful and effective.

We believe in allowing the children freedom of expression in various ways such as through painting, singing, music and dramatic play. We have a balance of structured as well as free play activities for the children. The essence of the entire program, however , is to instill in the children a positive self-image and a high sense of self-esteem. After all, isn’t that the very purpose of education – to enable our children to deal with life’s many challenges with confidence and a sense of purpose so that they may succeed in challenges with confidence and a sense of purpose so that they may succeed in whatever paths they may decide to venture in.
