Parent cooperative pre-school

Tall Pines Nursery School has been Nevada County’s #1 parent cooperative preschool for over 60 years! Co-ops are a unique and rewarding option for families seeking to actively participate in their child's education. In our programs, parents play a hands-on role in the classroom. The cooperative environment offers a unique experience that fosters a strong sense of community and collaboration among parents and children. Our programs offer many chances for families to come together, share experiences, and make lasting relationships. The deep connections made at Tall Pines last long beyond the preschool years and often lead to lifelong friendships!

Play-based learning

Get ready for some fun and laughter while learning and playing together! Here at Tall Pines, our experienced teachers create classrooms that foster a play-based learning environment.

At Tall Pines, parents work alongside the teacher to help guide activities that promote creativity, curiosity, and social interaction. We recognize the value of play as the fundamental tool for learning and design our curriculum with play at the center.

Come experience the power of play and the magic it brings both children and parents. Join Tall Pines and let's create unforgettable memories and learning experiences together!
