In 1953, a group of parents founded All Austin Cooperative Nursery School ( AACNS ) with the purpose of providing a racially integrated, educationally sound learning environment for their children. Over the years, AACNS expanded and developed into a family-centered school, continuing to maintain a policy of nondiscrimination with regard to race, religion, color, and national origin. It was many years, however, before the Co-op was able to realize its dream of owning a space of its own. Finally, in 2002, on the eve of its 50th anniversary, AACNS purchased, renovated, and moved into a building designed solely for the use of young children and their families. We believe that young children learn best through play. Our classrooms are well-equipped and creatively arranged to promote active exploration and learning in an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. It is our goal to support each child's physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth. Therefore, children are encouraged to take risks, be creative problem-solvers, be independent, and learn to appreciate the ideas and perspectives of others. At the Co-op, children learn in a hands-on way with lots of opportunity for making choices and getting messy. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia educational approach, our teachers help children to investigate their individual and common interests and offer children creative ways of expressing what they know and imagine. Through discussion and displays of children's thoughts and work, the multiple stories of growth and learning that take place in each classroom are communicated to the full community.
