The Belair Cooperative Nursery School, established in 1962, is one of the oldest
preschools in the City of Bowie. The school is a non-profit, non-sectarian,
and non-partisan organization. It has been accredited by the Maryland State
Department of Education since 1970. The Belair Cooperative Nursery School rents
classroom space from the Christian Community Presbyterian Church on Belair Drive
in Bowie.
Our purpose is to provide children with a group experience that extends the
values of family life by fostering a sense of community involvement. It is the
philosophy of the school to encourage student awareness of and participation
in one's natural, social, and cultural environment.
The school attempts to provide a program which is appropriate to the child's
stage of development and which is satisfying to him or her. The school introduces
the students to the use of computers as well as music appreciation and Spanish.
We strive to recognize the unique characteristics and abilities of each child
and to cultivate in each a love of learning and a consideration of others.
Parental involvement is an essential part of a cooperative school. The parents
form the Board of Directors and govern the entire program. They hire the teachers,
assist in planning the educational program, and participate in the classroom
on a rotating basis as teacher's aides. There are five general membership meetings
per school year. Attendance at four meetings is mandatory.
The school operates five days a week, from September through May. We offer
a 3-year-old and 4-year-old program. The 3-year-old class meets on Tuesday and
Thursday mornings from 9:00 to 12:00. The 4-year-old class meets on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 9:00 to 12:00. Classes are limited to 15
students each.
