Introduction

Great Neck Community School is an accredited, non-profit, non-sectarian, multicultural cooperative nursery school. We are the oldest cooperative nursery school on Long Island, with a rich history dating back to 1932.

The Great Neck Community School offers a stimulating and engaging first school experience for children starting at age 2, through pre-K. Our dedicated and enthusiastic staff educate and build confident students who will move onto kindergarten as knowledgeable and independent young learners. Our year-round programs encourage early academic skills, creativity, exploration, independence, and friendship. We take pride in our experienced teachers, home-like atmosphere, and beautiful playground. During the summer, we provide continuity for the children and peace-of-mind for parents as the curriculum continues into the summer program in the same engaging and hands-on learning environment.

We meet national, state and local standards in areas of staff credentials and certification, staff training, curriculum, classroom environment, children’s health and safety, and school home relationships.
