Start Here! Preschool is a unique early childhood program designed for parents who have both the time and the interest in being involved in their preschoolers' first educational experience. The school's philosophy is that children's learning should be developmentally appropriate and facilitated through play, and also that parents are an important part of a child's education. Learn through play is central to our preschool philosophy, as well as being a parent cooperative that allows you to be involved in your preschooler's education. We strive to promote and facilitate education in fine motor, gross motor, and social skills; all through play and gentle/choice educating, with parent involvement. Our structure is designed to keep the child to adult ratio low by volunteering in class on a rotating basis, with parents overseeing the day-to-day operation of the school through filling positions on the school's non-profit board of directors.
