Watertown Cooperative Nursery School Seeking New Home in Town

By |

For nearly two decades, a nursery school with a different approach from most has operated in the basement of a church in Watertown, but now the school is in search of a new home. 

Watertown Cooperative Nursery School began in 1952, and has been in the basement of the Grace Chapel Church on Main Street since 2001. One thing that separates the WCNS from other nursery schools is the involvement of family, said Kim O’Mahony, co-director and teacher at the nursery school. “Parent participate daily in school,” Cohen said. “They take turns being in the classroom, running the board, helping with maintenance.” A parent typically volunteers for the day once every three weeks, which also allows working parents to participate.
