WHAT WE DO MATTERS
Napa Valley Cooperative Nursery School was started by families more than seventy-five years ago to ensure a nurturing and safe place for children to learn through play, develop independence, and thrive in a community surrounded by friends and their families. As a nonprofit school, we have significant financial needs and we rely on our community and partnerships to continue to provide affordable service to families.
We have endless gratitude to the parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, board members, and friends who have given – and continue to give – generously to our non-profit. With your support, NVNS can continue to provide a rich and meaningful education to our students and their families, today and in the decades to come.
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is wasted.”
– Aesop

Cup of Coffee
Every time NVNS Alumni families see each other – and we see each other a lot because NVNS creates a stronger and longer lasting community of families than any other preschool in Napa – we end up talking about how much we miss our nursery school days and our fabulous teacher(s).
If you still think of NVNS with fond memories, please consider showing your love and appreciation with a monthly gift of as little as $5 – about the cost of a good cup of coffee. Check the “Make this a monthly donation” box in the button link below to ensure your gift to NVNS continues throughout the year.
If we all pitch in, it’s easy to help keep the lovely and vibrant community that we have helped to create going all year long, because (say it with me!):
“Together We’re Better!”
