In a word, choosing a cooperative preschool is all about involvement. Parents are in the classroom supervising, interacting, and participating on a regular basis. It quickly becomes less about making snacks and homemade playdough and more about making memories, friends, and a personal investment in your child's education.

Annandale Preschool: A History
Report
In 1947, a group of parents met to organize a cooperative preschool. They believed that using their own time, talents, and abilities could provide a superior school where both the children and parents would benefit from their close interaction.
With the cooperation of the Northern Virginia Council of Cooperation Preschools (now the Virginia Cooperative Preschool Council), the Annandale Cooperative Preschool opened in the fall of 1947 using toys, furniture, and playground equipment built by the parents.Through the years, additional classes were added to provide two-year-olds (and their parents) a chance to learn through play.

About
Report
At Annandale Cooperative Preschool, "learning through play" isn't just something we say; it's something we do, and we do it every day. We believe a child's mind is much more receptive to learning when they are a part of the process and when that process is fun. It is why we have a variety of free-choice and teacher-led options built into our curriculum.
Parent Participation
Report
A cooperative preschool lives and breathes with parent participation, and, like so many things, you'll get out of your experience at Annandale Cooperative School what you put into it. Well, in some part, that's completely up to you. Yes, there are required meetings, committee assignments, work parties and co-oping responsibilities.
