Our “Hand-in-Hand:  FTCNS 10th Anniversay Online Auction" is now open for bidding!

In 1999, facing almost insurmountable financial difficulties, a small group of committed parents found a way to make their vision of a truly cooperative, economically accessible, play-based nursery school a reality.  

While we have grown in size, FTCNS still faces some of the same challenges our founders encountered ten years ago.  We are the only cooperative nursery school in the Chicago area that provides sliding scale tuition, making our high quality, play-based education affordable for an economically diverse population.  Our ability to continue to maintain our sliding scale relies solely on our wonderful parents and supporters – we receive no public funding.  Check out our great items.  We know that you will like what you see!

Support Preschool Education -- Your child will thank you!

Most medical professionals, as well as educators, agree that the ages of three to five are crucial periods in a child’s education and development. Enrolling a child in a pre-school program will help to lay the foundation for academics, social interaction skills, as well as build self esteem and self confidence in a child.

FTCNS thanks you for your support of our program!
