Accreditation: Accredited by the National Association
for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) for more than 18 years. The 2006 NAEYC accreditation
standards include requirements for accreditation that we believe are not appropriate for half-day,
non-profit, cooperative preschools. We will not be seeking re-accreditation unless NAEYC amends
the standards to take into consideration the many differences between half-day preschools and
full-day custodial care. We will be working together to develop guidelines that will ensure
that our high standards of excellence are maintained.

Each group has one teacher and one parent-teacher. We serve twenty-four 3's and 4's,
split into three groups of eight children, each with their own teacher, and with the
assistance of two parent-teachers. The twenty-four 3's and 4's meet Tuesday–Friday.
In addition, the twelve 4's attend school on Mondays in their own gathering group, with
one teacher and two parent-teachers.
Student:teacher ratio: 2- and 3-day

to be? Not at all
Parental participation required:
We are a cooperative. We currently require 12 hours per semester,
in addition to 1 to 2 days a month working as a parent helper in
the classroom. Each family also has a "job" for the year, which
helps to fulfill the hours requirement.
Special features: We offer a child-centered
program enriched by the cultures and shared talents of each family
