The Petaluma Parent Nursery School (PPNS) is a component of Petaluma City Schools and Petaluma Adult School and is celebrating over 72 years as a co-op nursery school. We present a non-academic, child centered program with: long periods of uninterrupted free time, few restrictions on exploration, lots of outdoor time with parents acting as facilitators.
Through hands-on experiences children learn about visual art, language arts, science, cooking, drama, gardening and physical motor skills. We are a parent participation nursery school program for children 2.5-5 years of age. Our program is part of the Petaluma Adult School in the Petaluma district and is directed by a credentialed teacher who enjoys teaching both the children and the adults.
