Our Philosophy

We believe that children learn best in an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance in which they feel free and secure enough to explore their world.  In this atmosphere of cooperation and caring, children grow up feeling that they are valued and the world can be trusted.

The Teacher

Co-operative Childcare Benefits

Educational experience for your child

The parent is directly involved in their child’s first school experience

The parents and teacher work together, providing the child with a consistent style of care between home and school

It offers the parent the opportunity to ensure the program fits their child’s needs

Co-op involvement enables the parent to share information and experiences about child rearing with other like-minded parents

It offers the children more individual attention due to higher adult/child ratio

It is more affordable than other forms of childcare.
