A Co-op is a nonprofit organization administered and maintained by parents of the children who attend. A Board elected by the member parents governs the school. The staff includes teachers with degrees in early childhood or early elementary education and teachers' aides. Being a Co-op helps reduce the cost of tuition.
It also gives parents a unique opportunity to meet and work with their child's teacher, his/her friends, parents of classmates, and to observe their child in school. Tour the classrooms, meet the teachers, chat with other parents, and register your little one for the 2021-2022 school year!

It can be a big change for little people. The Co-op is the perfect transition between home and “formal” school for 3, 4, and 5 year olds. They learn so much, but the environment created by the teachers is so loving and supportive that they never feel pressured or pushed. The teachers’ many years of experience working with young children gives them an understanding of just what these little ones need to flourish. Because
