Welcome to Ruth Washburn Cooperative Nursery School! We are entering our 50th year serving children and families in the Pikes Peak Area.

Our school has an integrated play based curriculum based on the whole child and their development as human beings.

Whether you are an old friend or just checking us out...welcome! We are glad you are here!

      

 

     A beloved Ruth Washburn teacher, colleague, family member and friend, Brenda Hood, died peacefully on Sunday afternoon. She was surrounded by family, including Matt and daughter-in-law Sheila (parents of Easton M3 and RW graduates Ellen and Sydney). We will have a box in the Front Office for cards and notes to share with Brenda’s family.
Obituary

  "In an era where so many kids are slotted into academic-focused programs, Ruth Washburn is a rare haven. Here kids learn to be friends. They learn to explore the world around them. And they come away curious, creative, and in love with school. We feel so lucky to have found a place where our three children could discover the joys of play… the pleasure of words… the fun of the outdoors. On any given day you’ll find kids playing with worms… dressing up… giving baby dolls a bath… painting with golf balls… hiking the hillside… cultivating beans. What an extraordinary place." – Jen S
