What is Co-op

Picture
Cooperative preschools are age-based classes with a caregiver working alongside teachers and parent educators in the classroom.  Teachers plan and implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Parents assist in the classroom (usually 1 day per week) and perform administrative duties. Parent educators advise teachers and help parents build parenting skills.

The Parent’s Role
Being a co-op member requires an extra bit of time and commitment. In return, families reap a whole lot of rewards: a high-quality preschool, lower tuition rates, parenting support and lasting friendships. Co-op parents are required to:
  • Work one day a week in the classroom, including planning and leading a small group activity
  • Perform an administrative job
  • Once a month, attend a 2-hour evening meeting for co-op business & parent education
  • Provide a nutritious snack for the class on a rotating basis
  • Support fundraising efforts
  • Take part in classroom cleanings
