The cooperative model gives parents a voice in how their children are cared for.
How Does a Cooperative Work?
Once parents/guardians of children are enrolled into the cooperative, they become members of the childcare center. Members are asked to volunteer for seasonal parent work days to complete small tasks, such as playground clean-up, which helps keep our costs down.
Our Board helps to coordinate these days along with other volunteer opportunities, center play days, and fundraising opportunities!
Why Join a Cooperative Instead of a Traditional Childcare Center?
Parental involvement not only helps reduce costs and keep tuition fees low, but it also improves the quality of childcare since parents work closely with professional staff to provide their children with the best care and the highest educational quality possible. The childcare center becomes a safe and loving second home to children, while the cooperative becomes a communal space where parents meet and interact to improve and enjoy parenthood.
