Family Feedback
“The Independence Co-op Preschool is so warm and inviting! Our son loves attending school which can be attributed to the engaging, hands-on learning environment that the teachers provide. They meet our son where he is at and focus on developing his academic, social, emotional, and motor skills. The teachers are constantly evolving their craft by staying up to date on research on how children learn best. This can be seen through the balanced curriculum. The teacher also works closely with the local school districts to make sure the preschoolers are prepared to enter kindergarten. We enjoy being able to help in the classroom, which allows for a gradual adjustment to full time school. Our son just lights up when we are able to spend that special time with him and his peers! The field trips have also been memorable and something that not all preschools do. Our favorite part is the community and the friendships we have made with families along the way.”

“Like most parents, we were incredibly nervous to send our son to school for the first time. We toured three schools and chose Independence Co-Op because it immediately felt like the right fit. We loved the small class sizes, the security of the locked-door entry system, and the colorful, nurturing classroom environment.
The Co-Op offered many opportunities for our son to get comfortable with the classroom and his peers before school officially began. This also helped us, as parents, feel even more confident about the transition. Throughout the school year, we watched our son grow in so many ways. His confidence skyrocketed, he developed hands-on social skills, and all of us made new friends. School is now something he looks forward to every single day!”
