At least two parents are on duty when Knee High is open. This allows us to take care of the children's needs, plan activities, go out for walks, and give the children individual attention as they need it. Knee High families are highly involved in caring for the children, as well as serving as day care administrators. We all share in caring for one another's children, and in keeping the cooperative functioning. CARE A cooperative is a self-sustaining organism that needs continual attention and renewal.
Success relies almost entirely in the commitment of the members.
The recruitment and screening of new members is thus a continual concern. Each Knee High family has chosen cooperative day care for individual reasons. Many choose cooperative day care in order to spend more time with their children. Others want to be more actively involved in determining the way that their child spends his or her time. Some of us want our child to feel part of a larger community of families.
