Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The Corner Co-Op is a wonderful, supportive community and I feel blessed that my child's first academic experience was so enriching and loving. The program requires a lot of time and commitment on the part of parents, but I really enjoyed getting to know my child's classmates, teachers and the other parents. The curriculum is not highly structured nor is it focused on 'teaching' per se. Children learn through experience and are encouraged to be creative and use their imagination. As a faculty member once said to me, 'children can always be taught to stand in line and learn the alphabet. It's much harder to teach them to be creative later in life.'

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Since it's a cooperative, parents all have jobs, assist in the classroom and are generally very, very engaged.

Parent #2
The Co-Op is a very tight-knit and supportive community ready to lend a hand when a new baby is born, a family has a crisis or someone needs help finding a nanny, plumber, etc.

Modes of Communication Between School and Home

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Parents are welcomed to stay as often and as much as they like. As part of the coop, every family has 5 or six parent helper days

Parent #2
Since the school is a Cooperative, parents are always in the classroom so there is a constant flow of communication between parents and teachers.
