The Cooperative concept is based on parents taking an active role in their child’s social and educational development. It provides an environment where children learn cooperation from the example of their parents and teachers working closely together. The experience gained in preschool participation also helps parents in acquiring the skills necessary to become effective advocates for their child’s future educational experiences and opportunities.

Families are asked to donate volunteer time each month to the preschool. There are several options for participation, including serving as a board member, washing and organizing, clerical duties,  sharing activities in the classroom, and much more!  Opportunities for participation at the preschool are many and varied so all parents find their niche. The preschool does offer a buy out option for parent participation that can be decided on a monthly or quarterly basis.
