Our Mission is to provide a unique preschool where the Director, Teacher, and Parents work together to create a caring Christian environment, nurturing the whole child by allowing them to grow and develop according to their individual needs. Ratio: (1:5) Two highly-qualified teachers with college degrees and early childhood certification, and one assisting parent for fifteen children.
Multiple opportunities for parental involvement and participation in all preschool operations. Research-based, developmentally appropriate learning drawing inspiration from Reggio-Emilia, Montessori, Waldorf and more. Over thirty years ago, in 1983, the PPCP began in three rooms upstairs in the First Presbyterian Church.

A cooperative preschool seeks to create a family environment in which the Director, Teacher and Parents work together in the classroom, participating in the daily operations of the preschool to allow each child to grow and develop according to their individual needs. We believe the involvement and commitment of the parents to the co-op reinforces happy learning experiences for the child in one of his or her first ventures away from home.

This is my daughter's 2nd year at PPCP. We have loved every second at this outstanding preschool! As an early childhood educator, I knew I wanted my kids in a preschool that is play-based, highly qualified and, most importantly, family-centered. We definitely found that at PPCP and have enjoyed being involved in her early education. After attending school here, I'm confident that my daughter will be well prepared for Kindergarten!

The class size is great - 15 kids. There are always two teachers and one parent in the classroom, and many days there are 2-3 interns from the University's teaching program. Where are you going to find adult-to-student ratios like that?! I've never been the least bit worried about my child when we drop her off, and she is always happy and sharing new things she's learned when she comes home. The other children and their

I LOVE THIS CO-OP PRESCHOOL! The teachers and parents of the preschoolers partner to provide an interactive community with excellent ratios for early childhood learning, involving you in every milestone of your 3-4 year old in their first school experience. All of this is still achieved for a far lower price than every competitive preschool in the area. This was my daughter's first year and she will DEFINITELY be attending next year!!!
