Philosophy
Report
We believe that a child's preschool experience should be one in which the foundations are laid for a lifetime of learning through appropriate early childhood educational experiences. Children are best prepared for academic learning when they have had opportunities for rich experiences in hands-on learning.
Programs
Report
Co-op offers programs for children ages 2-8. We offer some extended days until 2 pm on Monday-Friday at our Rosemont Garden campus. Our Clays Mill campus offers extended days on Monday and Friday. Children eat lunch together and enjoy additional time for play. In the summer, Camp Co-op will offer two to four sessions lasting two weeks each.
