Wilder School director Margo Siegfried with one of our wonderful students!
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Wilder Memorial Nursery School. Founded in 1924, Wilder was the first cooperative preschool in the United States, and the first preschool to teach three-year-old children. The school has a long and wonderful history with generations of families involved. As a cooperative school, parents are invited to participate in a variety of ways during their child's time at Wilder.
Every parent knows just how special his or her child is. We absolutely agree. Our goal is to create a rich environment in which children will succeed. Every day we encourage our young students to become active participants in the learning process, as a great deal of their learning and growing will occur right here. For many it is their first school experience.
All of us on the Wilder staff are dedicated to making the Wilder experience a positive one for every child. We want children to love coming to school!
We invite you to explore our website and to contact us if you have any questions or comments. If you would like to complete an enrollment application you may do so by clicking here. If you prefer we will mail you an information packet.
We also support the Wilder parents, who face the many rewards and challenges of parenting. We consider ourselves in partnership with our parents and encourage them to share their ideas with us. We recognize that if parents and teachers work together, the child will benefit. We are all in this together!
Sincerely,
Margo Siegfried
Director
