It’s great that the parents’ have started realizing the importance of preschools and are working hard to make sure their child is attending one of the <a href="https://storify.com/travismathew6/williamsburg-northside-preschool-in-brooklyn-new-y" rel="nofollow">best preschools</a>. The cooperative approach that you have mentioned is surely what preschools nowadays need to incorporate in their curriculum. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442291831399284354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-76233064243447200142015-02-12T07:17:53.092-08:002015-02-12T07:17:53.092-08:00We have never tried a cooperative preschool.

Do other school systems allow parents to visit or volunteer? It would be nice to be allowed to work with my child and see how they are doing once in a while with their learning. <a href="http://www.miniapplemontessori.com/serving-st-paul-area/" rel="nofollow"> http://www.miniapplemontessori.com/serving-st-paul-area/</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816503075485660516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-32944670151587984202014-06-24T10:49:55.351-07:002014-06-24T10:49:55.351-07:00Thanks for sharing.

I have to say we have 4 teachers and 1 director(licensing requirements) and I love having so many to be accountable to. I love that anyone can participate in the school. The parents are not my bosses they are my team mates and our kids benifit so much from this team atmosphere.<br /><br />My director is a guide for those of us who don't have years of classroom expirence yet! We have 2 first year teachers on staff and they help the 2 of us so much.<br /><br />I don't think I would ever work in another type of program this is home to me and my daughter and I will miss having my daughter there but I plan to stay past her years.<br /><br />We are in our 2nd year of running 3 classes from ages 2-5 in a large setting thanks to a grant. Before that it was 2 classes in a tiny area on the campus of a charter school and we have grown so much.<br /><br />Parent co-ops are the way to goCharleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270713283101660085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-18560471187816923852012-07-22T09:12:56.324-07:002012-07-22T09:12:56.324-07:00Do the parents have to do the classroom participat...Do the parents have to do the classroom participation or can they send a proxy? I did it for my grandaughter since her parents both work. If working parents cannot be in the classroom can they contribute in some other way? Or do you have a lot of families where one parent is at home? I know of a couple of co-ops around here that are struggling because of just this issue.jwghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848946240656789799noreply@blogger.com
