Our Program

Teacher and Board

We are located at Good Soil Lutheran Ministries, in Rocky River, Ohio

Suburban Cooperative Nursery School was founded in 1961 in Fairview Park, Ohio by a group of parents who wanted a hands-on role in their children's education. We are run by a parent board, elected every year of our current student's parents. The classes and curriculum are created and taught by our certified teacher, Jan Lorko. 

We have had a long history and tradition of educating children from all over the west side of Cleveland. In 2016 Suburban moved to our new home in Rocky River, at Good Soil Lutheran Ministries. Though our preschool is located within a Lutheran church, our program remains non-denominational and non-religiously affiliated. Our student body is diverse and comes from many of the surrounding suburbs.

"My son loves this school. It is such a gift to watch your child learn and being in the classroom allows the parent a unique view of your child that you would otherwise not see. Ms. Lorko is an expert in the teaching of the preschool age group. Being with her in the class has changed the way I teach my child at home. I've learned as much as my child."
