Our primary goal at PVP is to foster a love of learning. Our curriculum has been hand crafted by education professionals and follows developmentally appropriate practices. We believe that if your children are learning while having fun they will be more successful when they enter Kindergarten. When your child is here, they are fortunate to have the school all to themselves.
PVP has a spacious setup, which allows for centers and areas for free play, music and movement, circle time, a reading nook, dramatic play, and art. In addition we have a fenced outdoor playground. There are two teachers and one parent helper in the classroom daily so our adult to child ratio is 1:5.

A "cooperative" preschool is operated by the parents. Each year, the Board of Directors, comprised of current parents, handles the administrative duties (e.g., President, Vice President, Treasurer). Our Director and Teachers are compensated professional staff. Parents are required to attend our orientation and all general membership meetings throughout the school year, as well as volunteer in the classroom once every 5-6 weeks.

I have been a part of this great school for two years now, and I am continually impressed by everything the teachers and volunteer parents accomplish. My son has learned so much in two years, both academically and socially. The parents and teachers are a wonderful group of people - friendly and outgoing, dedicated to our children, and willing to go the extra mile to make the preschool shine. Highly recommend!

Pleasant Valley Preschool is everything I've ever wanted for my kids first school experience! I LOVE that it's a co-op, which gives me a chance to feel part of the classroom. It's also super affordable. As a special educator I know just how important the first school experience is for setting the stage for many years of success and love for education, and PVP makes this the perfect starting point!!!

Highly recommend! My oldest son attended the school for two years and loved it. Great kindergarten/school prep. Since it's a co-op, parents get to be involved a lot in the classroom, at class activities and on field trips. Plus, the price is fantastic. Can't wait to come back with my youngest in another year.
