It is that time of year when parents begin their search for the perfect preschool.  As a parent of four, I found the best way to determine which school best meets the needs of both the parent and child is to visit.  Euclid Coopeative Preschool will hold an Open House on Saturday February 7, 2015 from 10:00 to 12:00 and Tuesday, February 10, 2015 from 9:30 to 11:30. Open Houses give parents an opportunity to visit and get a sense of how the educational program fits.  

Cooperative Preschools began in 1916 when mothers needed  help with child care so they could contribute toward the war effort.  Today Euclid Cooperative Preschool  and the thousands of other cooperative preschools throughtout the country, offers a unique experience for the entire family.  A Cooperative Preschool allows parents to play a very active role in their child's first formal education.  Parents are responsible for the running of the school. Some parents choose to be board members. Other parents actively participate in their child's classroom as well as on a committee.  Some parents who work choose to pay a staff member to participate in the classroom and focus on being a member of a school committee.  No matter how you participate you are guaranteed to build relationships with your child's teacher, classmates and their families.

For 66 years Euclid Cooperative Preschool has educated children in the city of Euclid.  The preschool is located at 21000 Lakeshore Blvd. Euclid Cooperative Preschool . The preschool is a Four Star Step-up-to-Quality rated center that follows the Ohio Early Learning Content Standards and prepares children for kindergarten as they play. Classes are offered for 3, 4 and  5 year old children.
