The Acton Barn Cooperative Nursery School serves children from ages two years and nine months to five years. The morning class program gives parents a choice of two, three or four days of classes for their children. The afternoon provides a three-day program only. Its program is designed to enhance children's social, emotional, educational and physical growth, through a combination of parent and staff cohesiveness. Parents get involved at the school; for example, everyday, there are two to three parents who help out at the barn.
