The West Side Co-Op Preschool is a non-profit organization, maintained and administered by the parents of the enrolled children. Qualified teaching staff are employed to guide the educational program.
The young child is the focal point of our school. The cornerstone of our philosophy is to accept all children as individuals and to help them develop and grow at their own rate and in all areas: social, emotional, cognitive, and physical.
We subscribe to the idea that play is learning for the 2 to 5 year old and that play is truly the "work" of the young child.
Classes & Programs :: Programs are offered at three different age levels.
Toddler :: One morning per week - Age 2
Two Day :: Two mornings per week - Ages 3-4
Three Day :: Three mornings per week - Ages 4-5
