Our Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
We are committed to providing an environment rich with active exploration and social interaction. Children are encouraged to explore at their own pace and level of development and to learn through play.
Our motto is “Childhood is a journey not a race.” In the rush of our daily life it is imperative that we adults slow down to our children’s pace and participate in these formative years of their development. We blink and our children have grown. At Playful Learning Cooperative Preschool we believe that by taking this time with our children, we too experience the joy and wonder of childhood.
We provide unique options for preschoolers and their families. The options have been designed to make the co-op as child and family friendly as possible. This is a multi-age program with a variety of ways for families to be engaged, connect with others, and contribute to our preschool community.
COOPERATIVE PHILOSOPHY
