Stevens Cooperative Begins 2 year old program and refines 4 year old program
Stevens Cooperative School in Hoboken has created some exciting enhancements to their Early Childhood program. Beginning in the 2007-2008 school year, Stevens Cooperative School will have a program for 2 year olds in Hoboken. Applicants must turn two by September 1, 2007, and qualified siblings of students enrolled in Stevens will have preference for admission to the program. Prospective families will have their choice of a daily two-and-a-half hour session, at either 9:00 – 11:30 am or 1:00 – 3:30 pm. Applications must be received by March 1, 2007.
More below…
Each class will have a Head teacher with an Assistant teacher and, for the first eight weeks, a second assistant. No more than 12 students will be enrolled in each class. Tuition will be in line with the current Nursery program. Although part of the School, families in the 2s program will not be required to fulfill any cooperative commitments. Children in the 2s program will not be automatically enrolled in the 3s program the following year but are free to apply for ongoing programs. The 2s program will encourage social skills through exploration with developmentally appropriate materials such as blocks, sand, water, paint, clay, paper and math manipulatives. Song and creative movement will be included every day as will outdoor play.
Additionally, Nursery 4s will become a full-day program in the 2007-2008 school year. A developmentally appropriate full day program for these students will ease the transition to Kindergarten and we believe that a full day program will allow the program to be a better choice for some families, as early morning drop off and aftercare will also be offered for those students.

What ever Mooshu, get a life!
In response to mooshu who said:
There are things we all need to think about before starting or raising a family. If you’re so proud that you opt to live in a town you can barely afford, I can’t feel sorry for you. I can’t feel sorry because my parents struggled as well, and unless they were out of their gourds, they’d have never lived in a pricey town.
I grew up in an inner-city, also minutes from Manhattan. I attended public schools until I entered high school because otherwise I’d have been sent to a nasty school within our radius. Private high schools were far, far, far, far cheaper than our preschools, so I attended one. Think: just under 20% OF what local, private institutions charge to play with blocks with 3-year-olds. That’s what it cost before financial aid options.
I turned out just fine.

That was then, how much does that same school cost today?

DPerez, you’re not serious, are you? Why are you resurrecting an old thread? Put your hormones away.
Journey, back then, for a full school year, we paid $2,000 per year for three years. When I graduated, tuition had increased by $100, so we paid $2,100 for senior year. I say “we” because I had a job and helped pay for school.
That was over ten years ago. But still. Tuition has only gone up to $6,000 and change, not a whopping increase at all. And it’s a damn good school. They have a foreign exchange program that I only wish we had back then.
Compare that to what greedy schools charge now.
Speaking of which, there’s some protesting going on regarding tuition costs. I think it only pertains to certain colleges. At least for now. That’s what happens when people at the top become greedy a-holes. We’ll be seeing more of this rebellious stuff…
