Why a Co-op

We believe both children and their families benefit from participating in a cooperative school. Our co-op structure offers children a gentle transition from home to the primary school environment. It also offers parents a unique opportunity to be actively involved in their child’s early education, observe their child’s developing relationships, and enjoy being part of a caring community of families. And of course, by participating in the co-op structure, parents help keep tuition costs low!

Parent responsibilities include:

Helping in the classroom approximately 4-7 days during the school year
Maintaining the school by participating in all-school improvement projects, and by cleaning the classroom once or twice per year
Participating in school activities, including field trips, fundraisers, and publicity efforts
Attending three mandatory parent meetings (held in the evenings in the spring, fall, and winter)
Serving, if interested, as a board member on our working board.
