The Vashon Maury Cooperative Preschool provides early learning for toddlers and preschoolers as well as ongoing parent education. A goal of the co-op experience is to create a foundation for for learning as well as to encourage community building. Together our teachers, parent educators and families provide great support, resources and friendships.
At Co-op you learn along side your child. Parents/caregivers join their child in the classroom once a week to provide help to the teachers and children as well as getting some play time. This is a great time to learn from our kids, get to know their friends and connect. The Co-op is powered by our families.

The idea of Cooperative Preschool is a time-tested concept that has been around since 1941 when the Seattle Public Schools began a small program in Family Life education for parents, led by Katherine Whiteside Taylor. This program involved 'playgroups' and some adult education.
With the end of WW II, and the beginning of the 50s, when 'family togetherness' was becoming the norm, Co-op 'playgroups' flourished, and were well on the way to becoming the Cooperative Preschools you see now.As these playgroups continued to grow, they incorporated the changing mood of our nation.
