A Community Treasure Since 1975

 

Santa Cruz Parent Education Nursery School (SCPENS), is a parent participation preschool which includes the only parent participation toddler program in Santa Cruz County.

Our non-profit parent cooperative has been an integral part of Santa Cruz since 1975, offering quality education to both child and parent. We are affiliated with Watsonville-Aptos-Santa Cruz Adult Education.

 

I wish more families knew that SCPENS was such a fabulous place for both preschoolers and parents to learn and grow into incredible members of the community.
