Welcome to Wilder Memorial Nursery School. Wilder is believed to be the first cooperative preschool in the United States, and has a long and wonderful history with generations of families involved. Over the years, more than 4,500 children have participated in this program.
Every parent knows just how special his or her child is. We absolutely agree. Our goal is to create a rich environment that your child will explore and find success in every day. For many of the children this will be the beginning of their school experience; a great deal of learning will occur right here. The Wilder Staff is dedicated to making the children’s first school experience a positive one, encouraging them to become active participants in the learning process. We want them to love coming to school!
We also strive to support our parents as they face the many rewards and challenges of parenting. We consider ourselves partners with them and encourage them to ask questions about their children and this experience, and to share their ideas with us. We look forward to working with you and are eager to know your child.
