Village Nursery School

My son started attending here in the Spring and he loves it. The thing that really attracted us was a large outdoor play area with a full playground that is part of the school. We had looked at other schools in daly city. They were hundreds of dollars more for less outdoor space. With the daytime program and the extended day care, we are able to make it work even with our busy schedules

My older two kids have graduated from this school and in the fall our youngest will attend. It has a very unique and friendly feeling to it. The children really feel like it’s their home away from home. The daily curriculum includes numbers, colors, theme of the week, art projects, music, and more. There is open play time in the morning and my children love being able to pick an activity. They also love the huge play structure in the back yard! Our son is autistic and constantly elopes. Because of this he rarely enjoyed outside play structures when he was little. Village Nursery’s play structure has been wonderful for him! If you’re looking for a co-​op preschool that is fun, educational, family centered and affordable, look no further!

My son just graduated from Village and we had a very lovely experience. I love the Co-​op idea and being involved in my childs education.

All I can say is «there is no child left behind» in this intimate setting! This little nursery school is a gem found in the off skirt of Daly City Bart. It reminds me a lot of the inner city schools with its intimacy setting and diversity.
The director Lynette has an extensive experience in directing and teaching with a co op. She brings abc, numbers, science, story/​circle time, music and friend time.
If you have the time please tour and consider!

i went to this school 24 years ago. i cant believe miss barbara is still teaching?! woow

My husband attended Village 25 years ago and my son just graduated this past May from Village. They both had the joy of having Barbara as their teacher. The families become your extended family and Teacher Barbara is someone my son still talks about even after starting kinder. Since it’s a co-​op you must be okay with other parents disaplining your child and you disaplining theirs. Parents are responsible for 1 work day a week, 1 lunch every other week, being oncall twice a month, a mandatory meeting once a month, and hours to complete twice a year. It may sound like a lot but just knowing you get to be involved in your child first school experience is amazing! My son developed social skills, compassion, respect and creativity at Village. Village has now become a tradition.

My son gives Village Nursery two thumbs up and 5 STAR rating!
My son (age 3) has been attending Village Nursery School for the past three months and he loves it! When I tell him that he needs to go bed because he has school in the morning, he anxiously says, «With Teacher Barbara?» And I say, «Yes.» He goes on to say… «I like Teacher Barbara and I like my school too.» He has been attending for a short time and in this short time, he is starting to recognize his numbers and letters.
Village Nursery School is a co-​operative nursery school and there is a level of parent participation that is expected. Village Nursery offers a play-​base learning environment. The children preparing for kindergarten are given «Pre-​K» time to work on their alphabet, numbers, fine motor skills, etc. They school has a relaxing loft area where the children can read or play. The backyard, has a lunch area, swing set and a great size play structure. If you are interested in an affordable co-​op, Village Nursery is a school to tour.

My child has been going to Village for 5mths now, the school is a fanastic Co-​op.
Everyone at the school was so welcoming when we started and always happy to explain things or help you when needed.
Teacher Barbara is a wonderful. She sings, plays piano and guitar and even plays chase in the yard, all the kids adore her and they learn alot from being a good friend to safety (the focus topic changes monthly)
They have monthly field trips and hot lunches.
The programme has a good mix of mat time, activites and free play including a hour of play outside where they have a really big yard and play structure. I really like that the kids have a turn once a week singing a song with a plastic mircophone to the class… what a great way to start kids early on getting used to public speaking ;)
I really think the school is a hidden gem in Daly City.
Update
My second child now attends Village
My first child LoVeD Village n his graduation ceremony was super cute he loves his yearbook!
We have a new Director (teacher Barbara retired :’(), school and program have been updated

Both of my children attended preschool here (between 2004 & 2008) and still ask to go back and visit Barbara. It was a nurturing, fun and safe environment and one that I felt comfortable having our family be a part of. Barbara plays the guitar and sings with the children and fosters independence and respect in a warm atmosphere. It is a parent participation school so your involvement is part of the experience that enhances your child’s introduction to planned activities where they learn to transition from group rug time to snack time at the table to free choice activities, etc. I encourage you to take a tour and see for yourself!
