​​ALTADENA NURSERY SCHOOL
A PARENT COOPERATIVE IN THE HEART OF PASADENA



​
​

Our campus is currently closed due to COVID-19. This school year, we are providing the ANS children and families with opportunities to learn and grow—including safe and distanced one-on-one backyard family visits, interactive virtual story time and classroom experiences, parent education classes, craft kits, and online resources.

WHO WE ARE
Altadena Nursery School (ANS) is a Cooperative Parent-Participation Preschool established in 1950. At ANS teachers and staff partner with parents to create a safe place for children to explore and learn through play without interruption or judgment. We believe play is messy, requires space for discovery, risk-taking and compromise, and is filled with opportunities for growth.  ANS is, at its heart, a school where children laugh, cry, sing, dance and hold hands, and where teachers and parents are there with a cuddle, hug and open lap when needed. The ANS community is a generous and like-minded group of families that support and bolster one another. Relationships formed at ANS last a lifetime. 

At ANS, the staff understands the struggles of parenting. We help parents recognize the needs and capabilities of their child while reminding them that parenting is not about perfection, but instead is about building connection and trust. How people communicate with children is crucial in that process. The ANS staff models language that is based on respect, curiosity and trust and helps each child discover empathy, self-regulation and problem-solving skills. The skills learned by children and parents at ANS stay with families far beyond the preschool years.

ADMISSIONS OPEN FOR FALL 2021
We are currently accepting membership applications for Fall 2021,
