What Cooperative Nursery School of First Church of Lombard does
Mission
The Co-Op Preschool provides early childhood educational programs in Lombard, IL. We serve local families with high-quality programming for children from 15 months to 5 years old. The Co-Op Preschool helps children build the skills they need to become successful students and responsible community members. We are a play-based program that fosters a joy of learning and respectful interaction among peers while promoting a cooperative partnership between home and school.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We provide approximately 100 students from 15 months to 5 year of age with early childhood education. Our programs in partnership with our students' families help children build the skills they need to become successful students and responsible community members. Though our play-based programming, they learn not only the academic skills that they will build on in kindergarten and throughout their academic lives, but also the social and emotional skills that they need to be productive and successful members of a community. We currently offer 9 different play-based preschool programs conducted between the hours of 8:30 and 3:30 on Monday through Friday during the months of September through May.

From the IRS filings of Cooperative Nursery School of First Church of Lombard’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of Cooperative Nursery School of First Church of Lombard's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $899 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
