Benefits: Why Join a Nursery School Co-op?

The cooperative school recognizes that parents are the primary educators of their children. It encourages mothers and fathers to share their interests and talents in the classroom, on a Board of Directors, or on committees. These direct parental efforts and involvement make the cooperative a unique educational opportunity. The children grow in mind, body and spirit as they are nurtured with acceptance and kindness by teachers and other parents.

Although a cooperative preschool will demand a great deal more time, effort and commitment from you as a parent, the benefits are extraordinary.
