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.
