A Co-op Model
CNS is proud to use a co-op model, where parents and teachers work together to build a wonderful, caring community for our children.
For more than 60 years, CNS and its families have been helping children grow and learn together in a joyful and playful environment.
We strive to inspire lifelong learners who will greet the world with kindness and curiosity in an inclusive and supportive way.
The program operates in three different classrooms for children ages 2, 3, and 4, and runs from September to June. While the day runs from 9 to Noon, we also offer options for early drop and lunch.
We hope you will join us!
The CNS preschool program has been licensed as a New York State Child Day Care Center since 1997. We are participating QUALITYstarsNY pre-school and a community-site partner with ICSD UPK.
Our license helps to ensure our children's safety by requiring our adherence to the highest public health and safety standards through the Office of Children and Family Services. We undergo rigorous day-care safety and fire inspections. All adults at our school (teachers, participating parents, etc.) are cleared by the NY State Central Register of child abuse convictions. A further benefit of the licensing program is that to maintain our license, CNS teachers must actively continue their educational training and participate in professional development programs.
