A Great Shaker Heights Tradition

The Cooperative Nursery School at Heights Christian Church (the Co-op) is a licensed part-time
cooperative preschool, which opened its doors in 1948.  Through all the trends in early child education
over the decades, our goal of helping develop young children into well-adapted independent students
has remained our central focus.
