Covington Cooperative Preschool

 

 

Parent Education sessions offer families an opportunity to learn, express, explore, and build camaraderie.  These sessions are designed based on the belief that by supporting and educating the parent, they will have more tools by which to be the parent they strive to be.  Cooperative Preschools are required to offer Parent Education as part of their program. The preschool strongly believes in getting parents involved in the learning process not only for their children but also for themselves.

Covington Cooperative Preschool encourages its families to commit to attending sessions and provides a variety of options for parents to meet this expectation.  Currently, sessions are offered during the evening and via an online resource page which includes videotaped lectures by the Parent Educator, informational curriculum in the form of handouts designed by the Parent Educator, links to articles and research posted by the Parent Educator as well as scheduling updates.  The Parent Educator also serves as a Family Support Specialist, whom parents can contact to inquire about resources, recommendations, and basic consultations.

 

What if I don’t want to participate?

Families of CCP should share the parent-child learning philosophy. The preschool requires all families to attend or view and comment on at least three Parent Education offerings. If there are extenuating circumstances, you will need to speak with the Parent Educator.  You will be assigned other activities you must do in place of your Parent Education commitment.  You will still be required to pay the Parent Education fee as these funds support the program and the preschool insurance policy.
