Why choose a cooperative (parent-participation) preschool?
- Be an important part of your child's first school experience. Many
parents have found the transition to preschool to be easier for
their child (and themselves) when the parents have the chance to
participate in the classroom.
- Benefit from a low child-adult ratio of 3 to 3.5:1. Because
parents work in the classroom, cooperative preschools are able
to give kids more individual attention and more supervision.
- Gain new ideas for helping your child learn and develop at home
and at school. The guiding philosophy of cooperative preschools
is that parents are crucial to their children's development and
education, not just at home but at school. Classroom
participation, child development lectures, and other activities and
resources are designed so that parents have the opportunity to
learn and grow with their children.
- Meet other families with small children and make new friends.
Cooperative preschools give parents of small children a chance
to interact and form lasting friendships
Why choose Pied Piper Preschool?
- Pied Piper is a happy, joyful place where your child (and you) will
enjoy learning and playing. Schedule a visit and come see for
yourself! Talk to parents currently enrolled; they’ll tell you how
their children look forward to coming to school each day.
- Our facilities are exceptional! Our building and play yard are
specifically designed to house a preschool. We don’t rent space;
we own our building. This has allowed us to design both interior
and exterior spaces with the developmental needs and safety of
preschoolers in mind. We have recently upgraded the front
exterior of the school, adding a large, welcoming front porch.
- Our experienced, professional staff is terrific! Our Director,
Maureen Straw, puts it this way: “I feel the goal of early
childhood education is to provide positive and sensitive
relationships between adults and children. I believe these
interactions will allow children to feel secure to play, learn, and
experience membership in a community outside our family.”
