Richmond Cooperative Nursery School
Richmond Co-operative Nursery School (RCNS) is a non-profit pre-school, licensed by the Ministry of Education under the Child Care and Early Years Act and is inspected annually to ensure it is fully meeting all requirements. RCNS was founded on January 7, 1975 in Richmond at St. Paul’s United Church. The school moved to its current premises, in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, in 1985.

What is a Co-operative Nursery School?
As a co-operative, the nursery school is owned and run by our parent members as a non-profit organization. An Executive Committee, comprised of parents (past and present) and staff, and is elected or appointed (select positions) each year. The Executive handles the business of running the nursery school and is assisted in the day-to-day operations and with special projects by committees made up of all the members. In order to keep our co-operative nursery school operating in an efficient and effective manner, parents are required to help with the daily operation of the school facility, in addition to working on a designated committee or as a member of the executive.
