| What is a Co-Op? |
How Does a Co-Op Work?
- In a cooperative, the director, teachers, and parents work together to
create successful learning experiences for the children. The school
operates under the leadership of a director and is governed by the
Executive Board of parent-member volunteers, in accordance with the
by-laws and constitution. The Executive Board meets monthly to discuss
school business and to address concerns.
Why Choose a Co-Op?
- Be a welcome part of your child's first school experience!
Co-op children learn at an early age that their parents value education
and want to play an active role in their school experience. Cooperating
parents benefit by sharing in their child's learning and by observing their
child's growth throughout the year. With a teacher, assistant teacher,
and a parent working together in each class, the co-op offer a low child
to adult ratio, with more one on one attention for each child. Parent
involvement also helped keep tuition costs low.
- Parents who choose to assist in their child's classroom (at the further
reduced tuition rate) are responsible for assisting in the classroom about
every 4 to 6 weeks. Children often find parent involvement in the
classroom helpful in the transition between home and school. Parents
also get to know the teachers and other children in the group and can
keep in close touch with their child's nursery school experience.
Membership and class meetings, along with committee participation
allow parents to help guide the schools development.
