Delaware Cooperative Preschool, DCP, was founded in 1984 by parents who wanted to play an active role in their child's early education. The founding members established a non-profit and non-denominational cooperative with a spirit of volunteerism. DCP is committed to providing students and families with equal opportunity to early childhood education without discrimination based on race, color, veteran status, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation or age.
DCP offers parents an opportunity to work with our teachers to enhance their role as their child's primary educators while their children gain social and cognitive skills in a nurturing, child-centered, and joyful environment.Additionally, as part of a cooperative preschool, parents have a unique opportunity to work closely with the teachers in the classroom and help create the kind of learning environment they would like for their children.

Report
I've had my kids at Delaware Cooperative Preschool for 2 years now (and am returning next year) and I love it. It's all play based learning that is kid focus and interest led. My children love going. The teachers are super friendly and they really care about my children. I feel very good about how they have prepared my kids for kindergarten next year as well as have instilled in them a desire to learn. Love this preschool.
