Why choose a co-op?

  2. Parent education provides an opportunity for learning about your child's development.(Children don't come with instruction manuals...but this is close!)
  3. Parent meetings are a time for asking questions and discussing parenting issues.(Parents see that they are not alone. We're all in this together!)
  4. Parenting training is offered by experienced instructors allowing you to feel confident assisting the teacher in the classroom.(A great time to observe your child and get to know their friends!)
