Being a family at a cooperative preschool is a unique and rewarding experience, defined by active involvement, shared responsibilities and a sense of community.

Collaboration is at the heart of our Wee Explorers’ community, where families and educators work hand in hand to create a nurturing environment for our children. Families actively participate in supporting the classroom, organizing activities and contributing to the overall success of the preschool. This shared commitment fosters a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose.

The cooperative model empowers families to play a direct role in their child's early educational experience. It's a chance to witness firsthand the joy, curiosity, and growth that occur in the classroom. Through engaging with the educational process, families deepen their connection with their child's development and build meaningful relationships with other families and educators.

Being part of a cooperative preschool like Wee Explorers is more than a commitment; it's an opportunity for personal and collective growth. It's a chance to share insights, learn from each other and form lasting bonds within a supportive community.
