Dandelion Cooperative Nursery School: Touring for the 2025/2026 School Year

Dandelion Nursery School is a play-based, parent cooperative preschool in North Berkeley and has been a vibrant part of the community for over 50 years. We are now touring for the 2025-2026 school year. Come join us for one of our upcoming tours!

At Dandelion, children pursue active learning through group activities and have ample time and space for individual exploration. We have carefully created areas for privacy or group play, and a wide variety of choices are always available including art, manipulatives, dramatic play, blocks, music, science, and books. We also have a wonderful outside classroom that has space for large motor activities and contains a flourishing garden, a beautiful two-story playhouse and chickens.  Parents participate in the cooperative through regular classroom participation and family jobs outside school hours. Children who attend Dandelion for the 2025-2026 school year must turn three by the end of November, 2025.
