What is a cooperative preschool?

A cooperative preschool allows you, as a parent, to be intimately involved with your child's education. Seeing you participating in the classroom allows your child to see how much you value his or her education. A cooperative preschool is a good transition, for both parents and children, between staying at home and formal schooling. It also provides an opportunity to meet like-minded parents. Many of our parents form lasting friendships and support networks. It is a tight-knit, nurturing community. Parents also often exchange childcare during class participation.

Apple House Preschool Cooperative is a member of the Indiana Council of Preschool Cooperatives (ICPC). ICPC sets standards and provides support for member cooperatives. For more information on the cooperative philosophy, please visit the ICPC website.
