About the Program:
Founded in 1955 in Newton, Massachusetts, we are one of the longest-running cooperative nursery schools in the country: not just a school for children, but a school for families. At Bowen, everyone has a chance to learn and grow, make lifelong connections and become deeply involved in the preschool experience.
When you are deeply involved with your child's school experience, you form lasting connections. One of the oldest continuously operating cooperative preschools in the country, Bowen is a place where all have a chance to learn and grow. Parents and younger siblings meet for play and coffee in the common area, and parent discussion groups celebrate the joys and challenges of raising preschoolers. These informal moments often result in friendships that last a lifetime.
But Bowen really shines in the classroom. A child-centered, play-based, nut-free school, our children continue their social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development in a creative, safe, and exciting environment. Children are allowed to grow and develop at their own rates, and each day abounds with new materials and discoveries. Our activities encourage children’s independence, confidence, and self-expression. Classrooms feel focused and purposeful, respectful and safe, calm and yet stimulating: full of art, color, song, movement, and joy.
