Island Cooperative Preschool has been focused on children and parents learning together since 1971. We are a diverse community of learners providing an inspiring place for young children and caregivers to thrive. Our school is a parent-run nonprofit located on beautiful Bainbridge Island. Working together, we nurture the development of the whole child through play, creativity and outdoor adventures.
We focus on the social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of children ages one through five. Our nature-based curriculum follows the seasons and incorporates our amazing outdoor play space as well as natural settings around the island. As a co-op, we truly value our strong community of families.

Our mission is to nurture, inspire and involve children and parents in the exploration of learning. It's about what's best for them and their all-around development: social, emotional, physical and intellectual. Fostering that growth is what our program was founded on back in 1971 and it's still our core philosophy today.
Our school operates much like a family; we all have jobs to do and we work to make things better for all of us. That's the essence of a cooperative preschool: cooperation. While the school employs two professional teachers who develop the curriculum and oversee classroom instruction, we parents actually run the co-op.
Choice Time: A substantial amount of class time is devoted to exploratory play. During this time, children choose from a variety of learning centers: art, housekeeping, blocks, table toys, drawing and writing, texture table, science, and snack. Circle Time: There are several focused periods during the day when songs, music, movement, stories, lessons, drama, and puppets can be enjoyed by all.
