Reviews of Lansing Co-Operative Nursery School (Kindergarten)

Rajagopalan Venkatakrishnan

My Child went through two years (Nursery 1/2 day, Nursery Full Day, Pre-school Full Day) in this wonderful school. The school is cooperative and truly considers all the inputs of the parents & is one big family experience. My child had special dietary needs & it was wonderful as to how the school accommodated it in the daily meal plans. The field trips, the nature walks, the celebrations, the volunteering, clean up keep coming every month. An amazing experience for a parent who wants to be hands on involved in how their child starts learning. Leslie/Soraya/Corina are amazing teachers & well organized. There is clarity in communication as a whole from the entire teaching staff. Curriculum & teaching is true to the level. The kids learn most importantly the social skills that is going to help them for life (I mean LIFE .. because that is what is most important). The school has the priorities right and ensure the kids learn the most valuable things. We are truly thankful to the amazing teachers and equally amazing parent peers for the wonderful two years. Truly an amazing cooperative initiative in a wonderful Willowdale community. Our child will miss the school but we all know our child has learnt well for the next level of schooling.

Absolutely the BEST preschool I could have sent my kids to. This is the only school in the area that parents can truly have a say in their child's education. Parental involvement ensures that the teachers are on their A game all the time! Not only are the teachers competent in their job, but you can tell they actually love the kids. Lansing is a non-profit organization, so apart from teacher salaries, everything else goes straight back to the kids.

We had our youngest child at this school for the pre-school program. It was the most amazing experience for him. He learned social skills and came home every day with stories. He loves Soraya and Corrina and continues to tell me how much he misses Lansing and his teachers. I couldn't have asked for a better way to introduce him to a schooling system.

We had both kiddos at this school. It was a no-brainer having our 2nd follow suit in attending preschool here. Love the school, the location, the atmosphere of the school, and most of all the teachers. I wish all schools are built this way. Loving environment for kids to grow and develop. Very nurturing care received from every teacher - both in Nursery and Preschool. Educationally speaking, my kids really learned alot to the point that I considered having them stay for Kindergarten. Do recommend that you check out this school because I guarantee that you will love it instantly like I did.

My kids love this school and so do I. I've sent my son through the half day and full day program and my daughter is currently in the half day program. The teachers are loving - so much so that my kids pretend to be them when they are at home. My son learned enough to be prepared for kindergarten, so I'm happy with the curriculum. The facilities are cheery and well kept, and the community atmosphere is great! I'm enrolling my daughter in the full day program for sure!

My son attended Lansing for 2 years. It was a great environment for my son to learn and grow. The staff and facility are excellent. I always felt comfortable and secure leaving him in their hands.

If there is such a place that we see in the children's book as described perfect that both children and parents are happy, this is the place.I have introduced many families to this place, they truly get culture shock once they graduate Lansing because Lansing is the paradise. My first one went there and I sent her private system afterwards. I can comfortably say there is no better school than Lansing. I am currently enjoying every minute at Lansing with my 2nd one because I KNOW the outside is not even close to how we are at Lansing.

Lansing really is the ideal first schooling experience for any child. My very rambunctious son absolutely thrived in the very loving environment created by the most amazing educators you could imagine. I feel we were absolutely spoiled by the level of professionalism, and communication from the staff and the community they created in and out of the classroom. As an educator myself, I was so happy to see my son's growth and how well prepared he was to enter Kindergarten. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lansing and I'm looking forward to being part of the Lansing family once again when my youngest is ready for Preschool.

Horrible place. Their principal Gina is dishonest, unhelpful, and just wants to take money. Also she is probably stoned most of the time from her manner.

We couldn't be happier! My daughter enjoyed 2 outstanding years at Lansing in the Preschool program, where she thrived. The director and teachers' dedication to the programming and level of care create an energetic and loving atmosphere where each child is encouraged to shine. Each week brought on a new adventure in learning and my daughter was genuinely excited to go to preschool everyday. There is a true community feeling and spirit among the parents and staff alike. Lansing Cooperative Nursery School is truly a wonderful place for preschoolers.

It's not often you can use school as a negotiation tactic to get a 3-year old to do something. My son adores his teachers, school (and the toys inside) such that he can't wait to get there every day. It's a delightful little school for little people. Ignore the negative review about the school director. She was fired before we arrived and the current director, Leslie, is great. UPDATE: We re-enrolled our son for a second year in the full-day Preschool/JK program. Best decision. He is happy, learning ... and still can't wait to go to school each day! He was registered for JK at a nearby public school, but we pulled him after talking to teacher friends who advised us to keep him at Lansing if we could. A lot of reviews talk about the community and how special this place is. It's all true. There are always (non-chore :) ) fun events to include families in the school, from Christmas parties, to sweet Mother's Day afternoon tea where the little ones put on a performance. I regularly see older children come back to see their old teachers and school - the reunions always filled with excited hugs! It's hard not to be happy at this place. My only gripe is that there is no SK program :( , because we would love to keep him here for as long as possible.

Excellent , Excellent nursery school in North York . My first one went there for 2 years and without a doubt, I sent my 2nd son as well. He learned so much from the school. Highly recommended place ! When it comes to school, I first consider teachers. Leslie, Corrina and Soraya make such an awesome team. They truly love kids with proper discipline mindset
