My kiddo has been attending the red class and it has been one of the best experiences so far. I really love Ms. Samantha and how engaged she is with the kids and her approach to learning and having fun in her classroom, and hope she continues to teach at the co-op as my daughter loves her too.

The co-op preschool has been a good community for my family. The play-based classroom environment works well for my kid. It is important to note that the parent-led nature requires a significant time/energy commitment, but that is how the tuition stays affordable. I would reccomend this co-op.

Love this school. There are always new projects for kids to do and learn new things. It's very affordable for all families and the classrooms are very clean.
