Parent's Nursery School - Cambridge, Ma
Images of PNS

Parents’ Nursery School-
   A co-operative nursery school
       in Cambridge, Ma since 1947

Central to the philosophy of PNS is a strong faith in children -- that given a warm and supportive atmosphere, respect, and freedom from unnecessary adult pressures, a child's own natural curiosity is the greatest impetus to his intellectual development. The child's need to give and receive love is the strongest stimulus in his social and emotional growth. Parents’ Nursery School strives to reinforce children's self-esteem, concern for others, and eagerness to learn.

Parents' Nursery School was incorporated in 1947 as a non-profit, integrated, play-based, cooperative nursery school. It has been located since 1948 at its present site, the ground floor of a large carriage house owned by two of the school's original founders. The nursery school itself is owned and run by a corporation consisting of the parents, the director, and the teachers.

Bill Hull
We are saddened at the passing of progressive educator, Bill Hull. He and his wife Sara were our neighbors, dear friends, and staunch supporters of the Parents' Nursery School for more than 50 years. He will be sorely missed
