Thank you for considering The Saline Cooperative Preschool for your child. Here are
just some are advantages for you and opportunities for your child when you are part of the
co-op. Visitors are welcome to come to the school and observe. However, we must ask for
visits to be arranged in advance for the safety of our children. The links to the left
include more information to help you decide if the Saline Co-op is right for you and an
application if you would like to apply.
Parent Advantages:
 | We believe the co-op to be the best preschool experience in the area |
| The tuition is one of the least expensive preschool in the area (See Overview link on the left
for prices) |
| You get to assist in your child's classroom once a month |
| If you are unable to assist, a friend, family member or child care provider may assist
for you (ask for details) |
| Parents with younger children typically exchange child care for the younger children to
accommodate their assist schedule OR SCooP
parents with younger children help each other by watching the younger siblings on your
assist day OR SCooP parents with younger
children take turns watching each others' children so that you can assist in the classroom |
