As a cooperative, we differ in many ways from other preschools. Parents and teachers work together to create a positive early educational experience for our children. Child's Play is a network of families, friends and teachers who are enriched through the active participation in making the school run. As a result, parental involvement is necessary of all enrolled families. Our goal is to encourage children to grow at their own pace in a safe, supportive and enriching environment. Our teachers allow children to develop, at their own pace, the social skills, emotional maturity, and concepts of the world appropriate at each developmental stage. By focusing on their creative play in the classroom, the teachers allow the children to suggest and discover the activities most suited to learning what they are ready to learn. Such open-ended play is augmented with more traditional teaching - demonstrating and explaining concepts - providing more structure and shifting more responsibility to the children as development allows.
