Coastside Parents' Nursery School

<p>Coastside Parents' Nursery School is an unusual hybrid of a public state-run school and a private co-op preschool. Open since 1959, its co-op status  encourages parents to be directly involved in the course of shaping their child's education. The state provides funds for low income children to enroll.</p> <p>Located in a quiet residential area, the school is run out of a converted house. There is a generous outdoor play area with a slide, swings, picnic tables, and benches. The indoor area has spaces for artmaking and play areas as well.</p> <p>Although the school has only one faculty member, Victoria Fuller, parents volunteer during the week in 3-hour shifts. Parents who volunteer three hours per week qualify for reduced tuition fees. Instruction is in English and Spanish.</p> <p> </p>
