In a cooperative, parents work at the school along with the teacher to help children make the transition from home to school environment for the first time.
Moms and dads are actively involved with the children in the classroom, helping them with art projects, reading to them, and supervising their play.
Instead of paying high tuition costs, parents perform the duties of staff, cleaning crew, administration, and teacher's aides.
Cooperative schools require a commitment of both time and energy, but the rewards are great. Your child has the opportunity to socialize with a multi-age group of children and share this special time with his/her parent several days a month.
A co-op is more than a place for kids - it's a vital support network where you can share your experiences with other parents.
