Benefits of a Co-Op to Parents

The Co-op Nursery School affords parents an opportunity to learn about the early childhood years and to develop appropriate parenting skills.

Children are eager for their "special day" when their parent(s) come to school to participate.
Parents are invited to join our Board of Directors to take a more active role in the organizational and business aspects of our school. By joining the board parents share their talents for the benefit of the children and nursery school community.
Parents are encouraged to take advantage of an extensive library of books and articles.
Parents are invited to attend General Membership meetings once per year. Often meetings have guest speakers specializing in issues pertaining to parenthood.
Children and parents become part of a community of people who are in a similar stage in life. Friendships formed during the preschool years can last a lifetime for both parent and child.
Parents have a unique opportunity to observe and interact with their child and his or her peers while assisting in the classroom.
Parents learn useful parenting tools while assisting in the classroom.
