The sun shone brightly on the Cooperative Nursery School of Ridgewood’s 33rd Fabulous Fall Festival. The festival was held on October 2nd at Graydon Pool in Ridgewood. The beautiful fall weatherprovided the perfect backdrop for a day of family fun. Attendees enjoyed games, pony rides, the Fun Bus, a petting zoo, inflatables, crafts for the kids and browsing through the items on sale from over 50 vendors. Food was prepared by local chef and Co-op dad, Ike Koutrakos. A variety of musical acts performed throughout the day, including co-op alumni. The day was a huge success and a fun time was had by all.
A nonsectarian school, The Co-op offers morning and afternoon classes for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds, as well as Mommy & Me classes and Kindergarten enrichment. Setting the school apart from other nursery schools, The Co-op is organized and run by the parents, which enables the parents to actively participate in their child’s early learning experience. Music, physical education, field trips, indoor and outdoor play time and an in-house library are just a few of the experiences to which the children are exposed as supplements to the daily education plans. For more information on the school or to set up a visit, please call the school at 201-447-6232.
