Our Community

Our cooperative preschool involves parents in their child’s classroom and also in the planning and administration of the school.  One parent from each family helps in their child's classroom six to eight times per year, and serves on a committee or as a member of the Board of Directors.  Children benefit from a supportive community of parents who are actively engaged in their child’s learning experience. Parents gain firsthand knowledge of early childhood development, and find a strong voice as an advocate for their child.
 

  
 

Our History

Hills and Falls Nursery School was established in 1941 by a group of concerned, thoughtful, and ambitious parents.  In the first year 16 children were enrolled.  It was incorporated in 1948 as a non-profit organization, and is the longest running cooperative in Newton.  Housed in the historic St. Mary's Church building throughout its 69 years, today Hills and Falls enrolls approximately 45 children in three classrooms.
