Crescent Cooperative Preschool

The Crescent Cooperative Preschool is not run by Crescent School District, but through Peninsula College.

 

Crescent Cooperative Preschool - Opportunities for Ages 3 to 5 Years

Research shows that investment in early education pays extremely high returns. It improves not only children’s cognitive abilities but also crucial behavior traits like sociability, motivation and self-esteem. The Crescent Cooperative Preschool is a non-profit organization operated by parents with children enrolled in the program. There is open enrollment as long as space is available.  Preschool students, ages 3-5 years, meet two to four times a week – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday – from 8-11 a.m. All classes are held on the Crescent campus in portable 2. Co-op parents participate in the program by working in the classroom; attend monthly parent meetings; help with fundraising and taking on tasks to help the preschool run smoothly; and receive credit through Peninsula College while enhancing parenting skills.

The preschool is taught by Lindy Thomas who has an Early Childhood Education Degree and been teaching for 20 years and 6 years for Crescent.
Susan Hopper is Parent Educator and will sub when needed.
Their program is played-based, and follows the interest of the children.

Registration is $40. per year. Tuition is $74 per month for preschool two days a week; $95 per month for three days a week; $116 per month for four days a week.  There are some scholarships available. Preschool children with an IEP will have alternative arrangements in consultation with the teacher.  For more information or to attend class for a day to try it out, please call teacher Lindy Thomas 360-305-0092 or email @ [email protected]
