Our goal is to provide parenting support, education and a sense of community to our members. The families that attend our school become lifelong learners who are advocates for their children. The main goal of Westside Co-op is to provide an enriching opportunity for parents to participate in their child's education and improve their parenting skills. Each parent is registered as a student with Adult Education and teachers are provided by Adult Education.
Parents also participate in monthly evening seminars where professional speakers are featured.
These seminars include a variety of subjects, such as sibling rivalry, conflict resolution and child development. Parents take this practical information and learn to apply it in the preschool and at home with their families. I feel very fortunate that all three of my children attended Westside Co-op. It's such a nurturing family-centered preschool experience. This involvement enhances not only the quality of the program, as each family shares its own unique talents, but it also gives the child the opportunity to get to know a variety of adults and to come into contact with many diverse families and cultures.
