Benson Hill Cooperative Preschool is a not-for-profit school that offers classes for children from birth through five years old. We have been proudly serving families in our community for over 50 years. Our preschool offers large daylight classrooms with a variety of materials including; free choice art area, children's library, drama room, block building room, large indoor play area and natural playground with sensory garden.
We are just a short drive from Renton, Kent, Covington, Maple Valley, Auburn, and Tukwila. We are a nut free school. We believe parents are their child's first teacher, and we elaborate on that connection to nurture the children's curiosity and self esteem in the classroom. This direct parent involvement helps children develop all aspects of growth; cognitive, social, emotional and physical.

Meet our Teachers
Report
Because we are a preschool managed by parents, our school board reserves the right to select the very best preschool teachers. Our teachers have studied early childhood education and have college degrees in a variety of subjects. They offer our children a positive, nurturing environment from which to grow and provide direct guidelines, expectations and support for parents in classroom participation.
Meet our Board

Takes minutes at the Board meeting and provides copies in a timely manner to the board members. Give interested families tours of the school or work with class Representatives to assist. Work with class chairs to collect registration paperwork and distribute and file in appropriate places. Verify with the Treasurer that Registration fees and all start up fees are paid before new families begin.
Our Classes
Report
The Sparrows Class (18 months-2 years) meets two times per week* for socialization, enrichment and fun! Our morning begins with a short circle time of singing, rhymes, movement and stories. Free exploration follows with various stations including art, sensory table, play dough, light table, block building, easel and snack.
Parent Participation
Report
As a cooperative program, we are constantly evolving and adapting to the needs of our families. We encourage you to share new ideas and ways we might improve. While many participation opportunities are optional, we would like to emphasize certain aspects of our school that are requirements to stay enrolled at Benson Hill Co-op.
Board and Class Positions
Report
Each family in the co-op is responsible for holding either a class or board position. In order for each class and the entire school to operate smoothly, it is important that each position's responsibilities are fulfilled. Board members must be able to attend monthly board meetings, which are typically held the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
