LEE COOPERATIVE NURSERY SCHOOL 
Contact us About Us
The school was originally formed in 1965 by a group of parents who
wanted a school for their three to five year-olds. The school met at
various locations throughout the years, but our home since 1979 has been
at the Lee Congregational Church.
Teacher/Director:
Brenda Nye-Power has a degree in elementary education and taught in public schools for eight years. A former Coop President and parent, she was involved in our school for five years prior to becoming our teacher in 1994. Brenda holds monthly parent-teacher meetings and is available for individual conferences. She also conducts training sessions for parents at the beginning of each school year. Brenda's love of nature has strongly influenced the Coop's nature-based curriculum. This curriculum encourages our children to develop a lifelong appreciation for nature. LCNS students learn about preserving and protecting our environment.This strong personal connection to the environment is achieved through many diverse activities including walks through the Lee Town Woods behind our school. Acorn hunts, choosing a special tree in the "Hugging Tree Woods" and conducting wildflower hunts to count Lady Slippers are all favorite adventures the children enjoy.
Administration:
The Lee Cooperative Nursery School (LCNS) is run by the parents of the children attending the school. A Board of Directors is elected by the current parents to run the actual business of the school. All parents join a committee that helps facilitate the administration of the school.
