About SUNSET NURSERY SCHOOL
Sunset Cooperative Nursery School (operating as Sunset Nursery School / Sunset Co‑op) is a parent‑participation, nonprofit preschool in the Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco serving children ages 2–6. The school operates morning and afternoon sessions staffed by a professional education director and preschool teachers alongside parent volunteers.
The co‑op model centers family engagement: typically 50–60 families participate each year, with each family committing to a weekly half‑day of work, a rotating school job, fundraising responsibilities, and attendance at regular business and parent‑education meetings. The organization is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has operated in the community for many decades and continues active programming and enrollment into the 2025–2026 school year.
