Feb. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Wonder if your 4-year old will be ready for kindergarten in the fall?  Consider Playmates Cooperative Nursery School’s Young 5 program, a transitional kindergarten. Playmates' Young 5 program is tailored especially for the needs of children turning 5. Our exciting and creative curriculum offers active, hands-on, play-based experiences in early literacy and math as well as art, music, movement, science & nature, social development, and self-help skills. Your child will gain maturity and independence for kindergarten readiness. An adult to child ratio of one to five provides individualized attention and a safe environment.

"With the recent announcement from SFUSD about Pre-K/Transitional Kindergarten not being offered for the 2012-13 school year, now is an excellent time to consider options such as Playmates Young 5 program", says current parent Laura Jones.  "The curriculum features cooperative learning, encourages creative expression, and emphasizes problem solving and critical thinking."

Playmates Cooperative Nursery School is run by parents/guardians who work together on a daily basis under the guidance of well-trained teachers to implement a developmentally-appropriate, child-centered curriculum. We offer children a wealth of creative toys and tools for learning, including a huge outdoor play yard with play structures, a tricycle area, a garden, and even chickens. Children have fun, while learning to cooperate and communicate their needs and feelings in appropriate ways.

"Among all the great features in our Young 5 program, the attention to each individual child’s needs and a well-balanced curriculum supporting their budding interest in learning makes for a great Pre-K experience for young 5 year olds,” says Executive Director Annette DeVille. "Sunday, February 26th, we are having an Open House and all parents affected by the recent SFUSD news are encouraged to stop in to see what Playmates Cooperative has to offer".
