Tri-Village Nursery School (TVN), which opened in 1946, is a cooperative, non-discriminatory, secular, non-profit school. We are located at 428 Kenwood Avenue in Delmar in the First United Methodist Church. The school has a
14-member Board of Trustees consisting of Tri-Village parents and two staff members, the Education Director and the Administrative Director. The board meets monthly, assists with parent committees and works closely with the teaching staff. Tri-Village offers pre-school programs for three- and four-year-olds. Currently we offer 2- and 3-day classes for three-year-olds, 4- and 5-day classes for four- year-olds and a 4-day three-year-old/four-year-old combo class. The children must be three by December first of that school year in order to be eligible for enrollment.
The Tri-Village classroom setting:
The classrooms are big, bright and afford the children many creative learning centers. All classrooms have
large windows providing plenty of natural light. Each area of the room is designed to capture the student's curiosity through play and experimentation. Classes are led by a Teacher who team teaches with an Assistant Teacher.
Each class is also assisted by a Parent Helper, providing an excellent teacher/student ratio.

A cooperative experience for the family:
As a cooperative, TVN offers parents an opportunity for active participation in the educational experience of their child's formative pre-school years. When enrolling a child at Tri-Village, the parents or guardians agree to participate as the Parent Helper for approximately 4-6 days throughout the school year. Classroom participation is a developmental experience for both parent and child and is a wonderful opportunity for parents to observe their child in a school environment. Students are usually very proud to have their parent in class and are excited to serve as the Helping Child on that day with special responsibilities such as bringing the healthy snack, being the line leader, and bringing something special for show and tell. In addition to committing several days to the role as Helping Parent, each Tri-Village family is required to serve on a committee for the school. Committees of parents work together to manage fundraisers, deal with classroom maintenance, direct child enrichment activities in the classroom and other responsibilities to help the school run successfully.
