Atascadero Cooperative Preschool

Atascadero Cooperative Preschool is a non-profit, parent-participation preschool that has been serving children and families for over 50 years. Our school is built on the principles of a play-centered, developmentally appropriate learning environment where children and parents work together to learn and grow.

Our Philosophy

We believe that children learn best when they are engaged in hands-on activities that foster their natural curiosity and creativity. Our programs are designed to provide diverse opportunities for social, emotional, cognitive, language, and motor development. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where children feel welcome and free to explore and learn to their full potential.

Our Services

At Atascadero Cooperative Preschool, we offer a range of programs for children aged 3-5 years old. Our programs are designed to be inclusive and meet the unique needs of each child. Our experienced teachers work closely with parents to ensure that each child is provided with a personalized learning experience.

Parent Involvement

We believe that parents play a vital role in their child's education and growth. As a parent-participation preschool, we encourage parents to participate in the classroom and engage with their children in their learning experiences. This close relationship between parents and teachers helps to foster a sense of community and belonging among our families.

Our Facilities

Our school is fully licensed by the California State Department of Social Services and conforms to all state laws regulating child care and school facilities. We take pride in our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness. We use natural, non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products and compost our fruit and veggie scraps to reduce our ecological footprint.

Our Community

Atascadero Cooperative Preschool is part of a larger community of parents, teachers, and children who share a passion for lifelong learning and growth. We believe that by working together, we can create a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters the development of the whole child.
