Our mission is to provide each child with an educationally sound, nurturing and stimulating environment where parents work with teachers to help the student develop the skills and qualities necessary to become an independent, confident person who can create and sustain satisfying relationships both in and outside the classroom.
We focus on play, creativity, community and learning to give children the opportunity to be producers of their own knowledge, ideas and experience and empower all of our members to be active participants and advocates of quality and community based education.

Free play is the very essence of preschool education and early childhood development. Play motivates a child's natural curiosity by enabling him or her to make decisions, wonder, problem solve, collaborate, ask and discover. Through play, a child gains confidence in his or her ability to think and work creatively.
The Cooperative Preschool received accreditation status from the NAEYC in 1998 and has maintained accreditation since that time. This is a long and arduous process that involves the entire school community. Accreditation assures that schools maintain a certain level of quality in all areas of the school - from assessment to leadership.
We are lucky enough to rent space from the Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel (CABI). Our toddler classroom is in the social hall building of CABI and our preschool is a stand-alone structure in the back corner of the property. We have access to a huge community garden, a large play structure and sandbox, tons of space for running, riding trikes and outdoor play and exploration and a nice little sledding hill in the winter.
