Play involves making decisions, solving problems, exercising imagination, communicating, leading, co-operating and socializing. It is a time to acquire the social skills and the emotional development we need in adult life. We encourage their curiosity by giving them the opportunity to explore the environment, both in the school and on a variety of field trips. Chancellor Street gives every child the opportunity to enjoy playing in a safe, positive and enriched atmosphere. As a co-operative, we dedicate ourselves to the philosophy of home and school working together.
Parents play a vital role in the life of the school.
Each parent assists in the classroom and holds another job related to the co-op. The families of the co-op become a community, too, and it is our goal that the parents, like the children, come to make friends, share and learn from each other. Chancellor Street is dedicated to extending the horizons of our children and ourselves. We are open to every race, creed and ethnic group. During most of the school day, the age groups are mixed, as in a real family, so that the children may give and receive help from each other.
