Marysville Cooperative Preschool

For over 25 years, Marysville Cooperative Preschool (MCP) has been providing a unique and nurturing environment for children and their parents. We are a parent-operated preschool that prides itself on its commitment to emergent curriculum, which focuses on the interests and passions of the children. Our ultimate goal is to create a learning-rich environment that fosters social, emotional, and cognitive development in our young students.

Our Mission

At MCP, we believe that children learn best through play and exploration. Our highly qualified teachers facilitate this process by creating an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and imagination. Our classes are designed to cater to children aged 2 to 5 years, with a focus on the latest research in early childhood development.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to be child-led, with a focus on emergent learning. This approach allows our educators to observe, document, and respond to the interests and passions of our students. This approach requires flexibility, creativity, and patience from our teachers, who work closely with parents to plan a curriculum that is both engaging and relevant.

Cooperative Learning

What sets us apart from other preschools is our cooperative learning approach. As a parent-operated preschool, we believe that parents and children share the responsibility of educating our young learners. By working together in the classroom, parents and children learn and grow together. This approach not only creates a sense of community and belonging but also allows parents to be directly involved in their child's education.

Benefits of Cooperative Learning

Our cooperative approach offers several benefits, including:

• Low monthly fees
• Parent education and college credits
• Opportunities for parents to earn college credit through Edmonds College
• Child-directed learning opportunities
• Increased parent-child interaction and bonding

Our Facilities

We are fortunate to have an excellent facility that provides a range of play structures and outdoor spaces for our students. Our classroom is well-equipped to cater to the diverse needs of our students, with ample space for movement, exploration, and creativity.

Our Teachers

Our teachers are highly qualified, experienced, and passionate about early childhood education. They are dedicated to creating a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters the growth and development of our young learners.

Conclusion

At Marysville Cooperative Preschool, we believe that early childhood education is a journey that requires partnership, collaboration, and mutual respect between teachers, parents, and children. By working together, we create a unique and engaging learning environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning.
