Serra Preschool is a cooperative (parent participation) preschool. This allows us to share in a most important aspect of our child's education - his or her first school experience. Enthusiastic parent participation keeps our school running efficiently and allows us to keep our tuition low. Parents are scheduled to work at the school approximately 2-4 mornings a month in their child's class.
Serra Parent Participation Preschool was founded by Lee Steelman and Dean Lyons - two women whose children, Kory and Gus, constantly wanted to play together. The mothers were spending much of their time getting together so their children could play that they decided to let others join in on all the fun.
I have some very vivid memories of my preschool. I remember the sound of the metal spoon as it clanked against the glass jar when I was mixing yellow and blue-colored water, I remember sitting on the rug and singing "I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas, " and I remember playing in the dirt underneath a climber.
That's a good question. A cooperative nursery school will demand a great deal more time from you, more than a school to which you simply pay tuition. So the question is worth asking: Why go to all the extra trouble? The answer does not lie primarily in what a co-op experience will do for your child.
At Serra our students are learning to love learning for life. Walk into our classroom and at first glance you may see the children simply playing. Take a closer look, and you will find them creating, improvising, collaborating and expanding their world. For when children are playing, they are learning.

Our daughter went to this school back in the 80s. Now, at 60, I look back and realize how much of an impact this school had on me personally and my family. The bonds we formed with the other parents taught me a lifetime of teamwork. Parent Participation is a wonderful concept. Did you Serra was one of the very first and vanguard for other Parent Participation schools? It's not for everyone, because you have to be involved. I am still on PTA boards, for our grand children's schools, a direct result of my days at Serra.
