Inside a class

What every class is like

  • Who it is for

    Children who are 3 or 4 years old by the start of the school year. The two-morning class mixes both ages, and the three-morning class is for fours.

  • Two teachers lead each class morning, a third teacher joins for lunch bunch, and a parent from the co-op works beside them.

  • Free play, circle, a snack the children serve themselves, time outdoors, a project and a story before pickup.

  • Your child's age, the schedule you choose and whether you include lunch bunch. Co-op membership is separate and is met with duty hours.

  • What to bring

    A water bottle, a spare set of clothes in a labeled bag, and shoes that stay on outdoors. The school sends home a snack note each week.

  • Lunch bunch

    An hour after class on Tuesday and Thursday for children who bring a lunch. A teacher stays with the group until pickup.
