Tenney Nursery and Parent Center is an enriching, play-based, part-day and full-day preschool for children 2-6 years of age. We are committed to the whole child and seek to foster intellectual, physical, emotional, and social growth. We respect each child's individual preferences and abilities.
The curriculum at Tenney is play-based. Teachers facilitate learning with monthly themes building on the child's natural curiosity and motivation to explore his/her world. Language, math, science, fine and gross motor skills, art and music are naturally integrated in all areas of our learning environment and curriculum.
Tenney is unique since it is a parent cooperative. Parents and teachers together have built a successful program and this enriches the preschool experience for all involved. Every family's involvement, whether it is large or small, is beneficial to the entire community. Through their involvement and volunteer efforts, parents demonstrate to their children that they value both the school and their experience there. As a member of the co-op you are able to share your talents/skills with both your child's classroom and the school itself and you are able to help set the future direction for the school.
Each family is required to help out in certain ways. Families bring in snacks for their child's classes on a rotating basis. We also encourage parents to parent help in the class on their snack day. Helping in the classroom is a rewarding experience for both the child and parent. Parents are also required to participate in parent orientation night, parent work day and fundraising. Families are offered three levels of fundraising sponsor levels to choose from. Parents can increase their involvement by volunteering for other jobs or serving as a board member. This partnership is a true hallmark of Tenney.
