Family Cooperative Preschool is a high quality early childhood program providing a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of young children. Children learn through interactions with people, both other children and adults, and through the active exploration of materials. Family Cooperative Preschool believes children learn through play and offers a creative, flexible program designed to meet children’s individual developmental needs. Our program is designed to build self-esteem, confidence, curiosity, responsibility and respect for one another. Family Cooperative Preschool makes extensive use of the outdoors and nature for curriculum. Children spend a significant amount of time outdoors every day all year round.
