Park West Cooperative Nursery School was established in 1971 by a group of parents who wanted to provide a nursery school for their children in which parents were involved in all aspects of their child's first school experience.

Today, Park West continues this tradition as a place for parents who want to be a part of their children's education. Our spacious facility of three classrooms and a full-size gym is located in St. Paul's Church on the corner of Fullerton Avenue and Orchard Street in the heart of Lincoln Park.

Park West offers a nurturing and stimulating nursery school program. Through self-discovery and positive interactions, Park West children gain self-confidence and form friendships. Our relaxed, though structured, format of free-play intermingled with non-competitive group activities allows our children to explore their environment and learn more about themselves and the world around them.
