Why Co-op?
• You participate in your child's learning. Parents take turns working in the classroom 2–4 times per month, which means more hands, more attention, and a front-row seat to your child's growth.
• Better adult-to-child ratios. Parent helpers keep our classrooms small and supported so every child gets the attention they need.
• A real community. Families build lasting friendships here. Many of our parents stay connected long after their kids move on.
• Affordable tuition. The co-op model keeps costs down without cutting corners — our programs start at $96/month.
• Play-based learning. Children learn through hands-on exploration, art, music, and social play — not worksheets.
It's preschool the way it was meant to be — collaborative, caring, and community-driven.
Come See it for Yourself
The best way to know if FWCP is right for your family is to visit in person.
At an open house or private tour, you'll get to:
• Meet Teacher Cat and ask all your questions
• Explore our classroom and outdoor space
• Talk with current co-op parents
• Learn exactly what parent participation looks like day-to-day
• Find out if your child's age group has openings
Open house dates are coming soon. In the meantime,
we're happy to arrange a private tour — just reach out and we'll find a time that works.
