Preschool Open House!

Grayslake, IL: The Grayslake Cooperative Nursery School (GCNS) will be holding an Open House for prospective families on Saturday March 17, and from 10 A.M. – 12 P.M. 

Families are invited to tour the school, meet staff members, and talk with alumni families. The oldest cooperative nursery school in the area, GCNS offers a variety of two-day, three-day and five-day options for children between the ages of 2 and 6. The 2011-2012 school year marks the school’s 36th year in the community. GCNS is located on Route 137 at The Shops of Prairie Crossing in Grayslake

Registration will be accepted on-site at the Open Houses. Information on class schedules and registration may also be found on our website at www.grayslake-coop.com or by calling 847-223-9820. 

GCNS welcomes families from Grayslake, Hainesville, Round Lake, Gurnee, Mundelein, Libertyville and surrounding areas. The preschool has been providing area children with a quality preschool experience for more than thirty-five years since its founding in 1976 by a group of local mothers looking for an enriching and nurturing preschool.

Classes are taught by certified teachers, but as a cooperative, parents and staff work together to provide children with a positive school experience. As educational research consistently demonstrates, parental involvement in schools is an essential element in childhood success in school—and the Grayslake Cooperative takes that message to heart as parents and educators are dedicated to developing children academically, emotionally, socially and physically in a nurturing, family-focused environment.
