In 1853, when Michigan was still very young, a farsighted citizen, Dr. Benajah Ticknor of Cobblestone Farm leased the triangle of land on which the school sits to the budding school district, for the purpose of building a school. The following year, the first Stone School opened its doors for students of the community.
However, by 1911, a half century later, the school was no longer adequate for the growing population. Members of the community rallied, tore down the small stone school and built the present larger Stone School House. Stones from the first school were saved and used in the newer building, along with additional stones from the neighboring farms of the Hutzels and Ticknors.

Cooperative Structure
Report
A cooperative is a unique and rewarding experience for the entire family. Your child will get to experience a new space where they regularly interact with their teachers, children, and other parents. Parents get to play an active role in the operation of the school as well as in the classroom. As a cooperative, our families work together to build a joyful community based on play, love of learning, exploration, natural curiosity, and discovery.
Curriculum
Report
We offer a play-based, child-centered preschool program. Our developmentally appropriate classes allow children the chance to play and learn together every day. We prepare children for Kindergarten and beyond, helping them learn both academic readiness skills, social skills including group behavior readiness skills, which are equally important for students to learn.

I found being involved in a community centered on our children to be rewarding and enriching. The sense of ownership and involvement are a wonderful aspect of being part of a co-op.
