Glenridge Cooperative Nursery School

"Not only does Glenridge have the most amazing setting of any school in San Francisco, nestled in the middle of Glen canyon park along side a creek surrounded by so many trees you forget you're in the city, but Glenridge is so much more than a school, more than community.  It's family. I knew I wanted a co-op preschool so that I could share these magical years with my son while he still wants to play with me.  I didn't know how much meeting all these families would change our lives as parents.  We've made so many new friends and gone on so many adventures together outside of school with other parents.  For the first time in my life as a new parent, I have a peer group that shares all the same struggles and joys. If all that wasn't enough, our administrator and head teacher, Mame, is incredible.  I taught highschool for 6 years, so I was very critical of the administrators I met as I toured preschools for my son.  Mame impressed me from the start and continues to impress me with her approach to early childhood development.  She's not only a great teacher, but makes great teachers out of all the parents in the classroom.  I'm a better parent because of Mame and Francis is blooming under her care. I've met former Glenridge parents whose children are now in college who still remember their time there.  Now I know why it left such a lasting impression.  There's no place like it."

"Glenridge Cooperative Nursery School is a very special place for young children to attend preschool. Tucked into Glen Canyon, the act of hiking to school brings wonder and joy to kids and their families. My son and daughter have both had fun attending this school, and I have learned so much as a parent working in the classroom and at the parent education meetings. We have made a wonderful network of friends and people we can rely on!"
