We LOVE our school!

Milford Cooperative Preschool

Here is a list of just part of the many reasons why being a parent at a cooperative school is so rewarding:

* Time to observe your child and others in a group setting

* A solid knowledge of what your child does and learns at school

* Useful ideas for helping your child at home and in the world around them

* A voice in the administration and operation of your child's school 

* Insight into childhood behavior and development

* Resources and ideas to use at home that allow you to reinforce and build upon what your child learns at school

* Parental support and friendship during the joyous and challenging times of parenting young children

* A chance to contribute your abilities and discover hidden talents within yourself

Here is an overview of the parents role: 

Parents contribute by attending orientation prior to the first day of school, choosing a preschool job, being the “special helper” in the classroom every 4-8 weeks, attending general membership meetings once every 4 months, and going on field trips with your child.  You can become even more involved by taking a board position.  The MCP provides a way in which you can be involved on many different levels - as little or as much as you would like!
