DIAMOND BAR COMMUNITY NURSERY SCHOOL INC Information

Diamond Bar Community Preschool was founded in February 1966. The school is a non-profit parent participation preschool, where parents assist a professional teacher in the classroom on a rotating basis two to six days per month, contribute to an assigned committee, and participate in fundraising and housekeeping activities. Our school year runs from September through June. With the cooperative efforts of credentialed teachers and parents, we are able to provide a 4:1 ratio (of students to teacher) where children are exposed daily to a variety of Art, Math, Science, Language activities, and Dramatic Play. The idea of a co-op extends in the lasting friendships and partnership with other parents and staff: working together to make the best first school experience for our children. The co-op spirit is what what makes us unique and what parents enjoy most about the school. Once you've entered the doors at DBCP, you'll know you have entered a special place. Diamond Bar Community Preschool's well equipped, age appropriate classrooms are filled with carefully chosen open-ended toys, books, puzzles, blocks of many shapes and sizes, dress up clothes and dramatic play equipment. Children are given many opportunities for personal creative expression and artistic exploration. You'll find children busy dressing up in costumes and role-playing, enjoying a story with a teacher or helping parent, building with blocks, creating colorful pieces of art, singing and dancing. Our preschool day incorporates a balance of different experiences: self-initiated and guided; group and individual; active and quiet; fine and gross-motor. DBCP is child-centered, and with a low child-to-staff ratio, each child receives individual attention, care and a fun introduction to learning at our school. The school is licensed by the California Department of School Welfare and is a member of the San Gabriel Valley Council (SGVC) and the California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools (CCPPNS). The purpose of these associations is to maintain mutual aid and exchange of information for all co-ops and members of co-ops.
