Before the official start of school, Crescenta-Cañada Cooperative Nursery School held a water play day to welcome new and returning students and families. Incoming Darling Ducklings (3 year olds) and Busy Bears (4 year olds) and their siblings played with water pumps and buckets, built sand castles, played on the playground equipment, and had a great time while parents looked on and chatted at the school grounds.

The water play day was an opportunity for students and parents to meet their teachers and classmates and for new students to get acquainted with the campus play area. By the end of the day, new friends had been made, and both parents and students were looking forward to the start of the school year.

Crescenta-Cañada Cooperative Nursery School (CCNS) has served the community for over 55 years. Parents manage and guide the cooperative preschool along with two salaried teachers to create a program to meet the social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs of their children. Parents also assist in the classroom once or twice per month and work together on various committees.
