Jefferson Cooperative Nursery School is now enrolling for fall 2008. Our program is designed for children ages 2-1/2 to 5. It is a high-quality, half-day program with classes held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. either 3 or 4 days a week depending on enrollment. The school year runs from September to June, and the class typically meets on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The co-op also now offers extended hours with an after-care program that runs until 1:00 p.m., available for a nominal fee.
You can get a glimpse of the school and read more about it in the Detroit Free Press article in today's paper, linked here.
Here is some additional information about Jefferson Cooperative Nursery School, including contact information:
Philosophy • The preschool offers a play-oriented, structured program designed to foster independence, self-esteem and internal control. The goal is to prepare children to enter kindergarten with the skills to handle a wide variety of academic, social and interpersonal situations.
Instruction • The teacher is educated in child growth and development and has years of experience working with preschoolers.
Beautiful Facility • Located in the architecturally stunning Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church in Indian Village (Detroit), the preschool (which is not a religious program) features a spacious classroom with extensive toys, arts & crafts, imaginative play area, water table, rice table, playscape and indoor gym. We are grateful to the church for providing this fabulous space to the school and supporting us in so many ways since 1948!
Ideal Ratio • Enrollment is typically between 5 to 10 children, allowing for an intimate teacher/parent/child ratio.
Co-op Requirements • Parents assist the teacher at class time two to three times each month, provide healthy snacks, as well as attend monthly meetings. Depending upon class size, “non-co-op” enrollment may be available for an additional fee.
Tuition • (Sept-June co-op rate): $1500/year for 3 days/week; $2000/year for 4 days/week.
If you'd like to visit the school or talk to parents of currently enrolled students, please email us at: gandjack1@yahoo.com, or call 313-822-3211 (Shields family) or 313-831-4312 (Michelle Potas, teacher). Call soon - spaces will fill quickly for fall!

Thank You for Your Support!
We would like to thank the community and everyone who came to our Silent Auction and 60th Birthday Party this past weekend (May 24). We had lots of fun and raised some essential funding for Jefferson Cooperative Nursery School! It was great to see all the friends, neighbors, parents, and former teachers and students of the nursery school. Magic John the Magician amazed the kids (and grown-ups) with his magic show, and artist BobKat drew caricatures non-stop the whole time! We are so grateful to these two gentlemen (aka John Anderson and Bob Anderson) for adding their talents to our event.
Personally, I was blown away by the generosity of our guests as they bid, and bid, and bid again on the many items we had to offer. In just one short afternoon, these kind folks contributed a great amount to our school, enabling us to move forward into the next school year with confidence. We extend our thanks to each and every one of our guests.
A big thank you goes to Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church for hosting the party in their lovely building. Our sincere gratitude goes out to the church for their 60 years of generous support of the nursery school. Thank you especially to Reverend Peter C. Smith, Reverend Traci M. Smith, Linda Rumon, Grace Crone, David Roberson, and Bill Slone for taking such good care of us here at the church, which has been our home since 1948.
We would like to thank the following financial contributors without whom our event could not have happened:
The Indian Village Women’s Garden Club, The Historic Indian Village Association, Bob VanDeventer and Susan Nye, Karen and Ken Cherven, Becky Dudash and John Canzano, Joan and Nat Morris, Fay and Rolland O’Hare, Phil and Shannon MacVean, Patti Little and Mark Lezotte, M. Elizabeth Bunn, Sandra H. Smith, and Harbortown Market.
We also wish to thank the following generous contributors to our party: Jacklyn & Cliff Kaye, Renita Clark, Michelle Potas, Anne Riha, Keith Martin, Betty and Larry Roberts, Bettermade Snack Foods, Sweetheart Bakery, Costco, Target, Dollar Daze, PizzaPapalis Rivertown, Indian Village Market, Jets Pizza Harbortown, Staples Detroit, and M-Pressions Marketing, LLC.
Thank you to the members of our Silent Auction and Party Planning Committee who donated countless hours and resources to get this event off the ground: Renita Clark, Jacklyn Kaye, our wonderful teacher, Michelle Potas, and yours truly, Jackie Hoats Shields. It was hard work for this small group, but it was worth it.
Finally, we are very grateful to the generous donors of the goods and services offered in our auction:

Details about our school
We are now enrolling for Fall!!
For those of you who are interested in what our school is like: Jefferson Cooperative Nursery School is designed for children ages 2-1/2 to 5. It is a high-quality, half-day program with classes held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. either 3 or 4 days a week depending on enrollment. This year (Sept. 2007 - June 2008) the classes meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Co-op also now offers extended hours with an after-care program that runs until 1:00 p.m., available for a nominal fee.
Philosophy • The preschool offers a play-oriented, structured program designed to foster independence, self-esteem and internal control. The goal is to prepare children to enter kindergarten with the skills to handle a wide variety of academic, social and interpersonal situations.
Instruction • The teacher is educated in child growth and development and has years of experience working with preschoolers.
Beautiful Facility • Located in the architecturally stunning Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church in Indian Village (Detroit), the preschool (which, incidentally, is not affiliated with the church) features a spacious classroom with extensive toys, arts & crafts, imaginative play area, water table, rice table, playscape and indoor gym. We are grateful to the church for providing this fabulous space to the school!
Ideal Ratio • Enrollment is typically between 5 to 10 children, allowing for an intimate teacher/parent/child ratio.
Co-op Requirements • Parents assist the teacher at class time two to three times each month, provide healthy snacks, as well as attend monthly meetings. Depending upon class size, “non-co-op” enrollment may be available for an additional fee.
Tuition • (Sept-June co-op rate): $1500/year for 3 days/week; $2000/year for 4 days/week.
If you'd like to visit the school or talk to parents of currently enrolled students, please email us at: gandjack1@yahoo.com
