Our Mission

The mission of Lincoln Park Cooperative Nursery School is to provide a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate program for preschool children, governed by a parent board and staffed by professional early childhood educators with assistance from parents and guardians.

NEARLY ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION EXPERIENCE SUPPORTING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. ​

We are proud of (and very grateful for) the collective experience of our staff.  With half of our staff members having served LPCNS for over a decade plus (and, two that are near three decades) our school has the great fortune of maintaining elements of our program that are unique to our collective community.  Having said that, we also seek engaging professional development experiences each year which allows us to be abreast of the most up-to-date knowledge and best practices in the field.  Further, mentorship between longer-serving and newer arriving staff allows us to, we hope, leave our marks (as skilled practitioners) in early childhood education.
