About
The Roslyn Trinity Cooperative Day School offers hands-on, play-based activities that include STEAM, gardening, cooking, music, subitizing with dominoes, block play, and playing with sand tables. Children also ride tricycles and ride-on cars, use rocking horses, climb on climbing equipment, use a slide and balance beam, build with large blocks, and play with tunnels and balls.
• Ages: 0–5 years old
The Roslyn Trinity Cooperative Day School states that it sparks curiosity and a love of learning through a hands-on, play-based approach that encourages the intellectual, emotional, social and physical development of each child. The Co-op is recognized for offering high-quality early childhood programs since 1951. It follows a cooperative model with parent participation in the classroom and school operations, and parents may share their occupation, talents, or interests with the class on participation days. Programs are offered for toddlers, 2, 3, and 4 year olds, with a separating two's program described as an optimal first school experience for children ages 2 and older, and there is also a Parent & Toddler Saturday parent and child class.
The school offers flexible extended day options including enrichment and Stay & Play to 3:00pm, before school care, and after school enrichment classes. It has excellent teacher-child ratios in each classroom, convenient curbside drop-off and pick-up, and fun family events throughout the year. Teachers write a monthly note to parents with goals, objectives, special activities, recipes, songs, and other information, and there are two parent-teacher conferences scheduled per year with ongoing communication. Parents can opt out of committee requirements in the co-op.
Classrooms are described as bright and spacious with well defined learning areas and are equipped with blocks, paint, play dough, a water table, art and writing tables, puzzles, manipulatives, science materials, and dramatic play spaces. There are two well-equipped and shaded outdoor playgrounds with slides, swings, a circle cycle, a seesaw, a real boat, monkey bars, a mud kitchen, a musical wall, sandboxes, climbing equipment, digging tools, trucks, pots and pans, and collections of dinosaurs, farm animals, and people. A spacious indoor play space includes sand tables, tricycles, ride-on cars, rocking horses, climbing equipment, a slide, a balance beam, a large block construction area, tunnels, and balls. Teachers also make home visits.
Professionally trained preschool teachers work at the Roslyn Trinity Cooperative Day School, and they are members of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). They regularly attend conferences, workshops and take in-service courses in the field of early childhood education, adhere to regulations, policies and procedures established by the New York State Education Department and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, and receive CPR and First Aid training every year. Mrs. Dixson received her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Queens College and studied Early Childhood Education at LIU CW Post. Ms. Nadell received her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Development from the University of Connecticut in 2020 and is pursuing a dual Master’s Degree in Early Childhood General and Special Education from Bank Street University. The leadership team includes Jeannine Votruba as Director, Mrs. Dixson as Head Teacher for Two's Company and Two's For Me, Ms. Nadell as Two's Head Teacher, and Mrs. Miller as Three's Head Teacher.
The Roslyn Trinity Cooperative Day School is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, operates as a non-profit and non-sectarian school, and teachers are members of NAEYC. It has a stipend program for Port Washington Universal Pre-K. The school publishes a NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY AS TO STUDENTS stating that it admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin and does not discriminate on that basis in administration of its programs, and it identifies as an EOE.
One parent, Ayme Lilly, describes the preschool programs at the Co-op as developmentally sensitive, creative and innovative, and describes the director and teachers as attentive, warm, approachable, smart, experienced, and aware of the emotional and learning needs of preschoolers. This parent reports that their child had serious separation issues and that no other program in their county came close to providing the safe, nurturing environment that the Co-op provides, and notes that in a culture of over-academic preschool programs, the Co-op encourages learning through play and exploration with an understanding of the individual needs of each child.
