A cooperative preschool combines the two most important ingredients for a successful first school experience - the expertise of a professional teacher and the best expert on your child...YOU!

At no other time in your child's education will you be able to be this involved! Don't miss out on this important opportunity. Whether you are helping in the classroom or attending a membership meeting, the school is run based on your input. The involvement doesn't seem like work once the realization is made that involved parents are their children's best teacher.

Parents see first-hand, on a regular basis, how their child interacts with his or her teacher and playmates. No guessing how or what your child is doing at school - you are there sharing in the fun.

Parents benefit from the supportive relationships with other parents who share similar goals for their child's preschool experience. Parent education is provided through classroom participation as well as through membership meetings and special programs.

Since parent participation reduces outside costs, a cooperative preschool is able to keep tuition lower than standard preschool programs.
