applesauceWe have been a parent-led cooperative since 1943. While a professional teaching staff runs the program, member families are responsible for helping in the classroom, administration, and maintenance. This keeps tuition low and allows parents to become fully engaged in their child’s education. Parental involvement creates a strong sense of community and a dynamic curriculum. Parents are invited to share an experience, skill, hobby or their workplace with the children. A week of the curriculum may even be created around the theme.
