About Us
California Heights Parent Participation Nursery School (“CHPPNS”) is a teacher-led preschool located in Long Beach that dates back to 1947. CHPPNS has been around for over 70 years because it is an effective and fun way of educating preschool-aged children in our neighborhood!
A parent participation nursery school, is by definition, an organized group of parents working toward a common or mutual benefit. Families who choose to invest their time in a co-op find that they often get much more back than they invest into it. We all share the small and large tasks that make our co-op work well. Our shared goal is our children’s well being.
