Founded in 1977 by a small group of mothers, Parents Cooperative Preschool emerged as their vision of a parent involved educational opportunity. This vision has grown over the years into a unique program for children. The basis of this vision was parental involvement. This allows the parents a distinctive look into the child's world of learning. PCPS believes that children, parents and teachers grow and learn together! Every child is unique! We believe that learning comes from the love of learning. This love shines through with the help of our dedicated teachers and parents as they guide the students through a program based on their age, interest and needs. Children learn from their environment! We want their world to be filled with wonder and awe as we encourage them and build on their natural strengths. This type of learning environment helps the children grow emotionally, intellectually, socially and physically at a rate that is most comfortable to them.

I know that every child and family is unique, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all schedule or teaching style. I have just over 10 years experience, am state registered, accept state pay/assist, CPR/First Aid Certified. We do daily story time, circle and lesson, guided activity and free play here. We will focus on learning through touch, sight and sound. I will encourage them to learn to self soothe and be self sufficient while inspiring them to be curious, explore our world and having fun along the way. My name is Kat (full name disclosed on meeting) and I love little ones and truly appreciate their spirit and individuality. I have run an in home daycare in the past as well as worked in multiple centers. You can be assured that I run my own center to only the highest standards. I have taken many workshops for newborns as I know that is some of the hardest times to be away from. I know it can be scary to go back to work but you breath easy knowing that I only have the best interests of you and your little one at heart. Since I have a newborn myself I will only be taking on 1 or 2 more little ones to insure everybody gets the full attention they need.
