Lawrenceville Presbyterian Cooperative Nursery School:

• Jennifer: “We love Lawrenceville Presbyterian Coop Nursery School. The teachers are absolutely incredible - warm, intuitive, encouraging - and we can't imagine a better start for our daughter's education. We are particularly fond of the coop structure - roughly once a month, you serve as a helping parent, which gives you time to really get an idea of how your child is doing. Added bonus - you really get to know the other kids and parents. We are so thrilled to be a part of this tremendous (and tremendously welcoming) community!”
• Laura Teller: “Both my kids have gone to Lawrenceville Presbyterian Coop Nursery School. They love it, learn, play, and are nurtured beyond belief -- recognized as individuals, under the care of kind and wise teachers. Plus, a lovely group of parents who are deeply involved!”
• Diane Wilfrid: “Lawrenceville Presbyterian Nursery School is a warm, welcoming place that pays attention to the whole child. I am so grateful for the experience given all three of my sons - who have carried song, learning, caring, and joy with them as they've grown.”
• Nicole: “I am a graduate of Lawrenceville Presbyterian Cooperative Nursery School and I couldn't have asked for a better way to start my life in school! The teachers are very loving, caring and warm fuzzied beyond belief, and see the rainbow in every child!
  I feel that this preschool gave me a strong moral base that launched off my values that I hold to this day! I highly recommend this school!”
• Lindsey Bohra: “I love LPCNS!!! I have recommended the co-op to so many people over the years and they all share the feeling! All 3 of my children are graduates of the preschool. What a great way to start their educational journey! The school provides a warm, dedicated and nurturing environment that makes every child feel welcomed and special. I considered the school a second home for 6 years and the staff felt like extended family. I was sad to see my last graduate but know that my kids will always take a little piece of LPCNS with them wherever they go! I They, and I, made very strong friendships that exist today! And being a co-op makes the school that much more special. Being able to interact with my child in the classroom is a memory I will always cherish. Double thumbs up!”

Saint Ann School:

• Amy Barkley: “I love Saint Ann's preschool. Mrs. Steward and Mrs. Jusiewicz are the best! My kids would be disappointed on Saturdays when they realized they did not have school!”
