A haven for little people who are learning big things.
At La Verne Parent Participation Preschool (LVPPP), we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and engaging educational environment for children from 12 months to Kindergarten-age. Our cooperative preschool is committed to supporting the unique needs of each child, while fostering a sense of community and inclusivity within our school and surrounding neighborhoods.
Who We Are
La Verne Parent Participation Preschool is a non-profit, non-discriminatory family organization owned and operated by member families in the co-op tradition. Our Board of Directors, composed of elected parent members, oversees the operation of the preschool, ensuring that we remain responsive to the needs of our families and committed to our mission and values.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a thriving early childhood education program that deeply respects and nurtures the potential that exists in each individual child, teacher, and family. We strive to create an environment rich in respect, individuality, and that celebrates diversity. Our unique program provides a strong foundation for learning, and actively engages families and the community to provide a positive and nurturing learning environment for each child.
Our History
La Verne Parent Participation Preschool was established in 1971 as a parent nursery school in Claremont. In 1974, the school was relocated to La Verne, and the name was changed to Los Chiquitos. In 1983, the general membership voted to change the name of the school to La Verne Parent Participation Preschool, reflecting our co-op tradition and location.
What is a Co-Op?
A cooperative (co-op) nursery school is a group of families joining together to best educate their young children. Co-op preschools are great places to share your child's initial school experiences. A co-op differs from other schools in how it's managed. A cooperative (co-op) nursery school is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, which meets monthly to oversee the operation of the school and ensure that our programs align with our values and mission.
Our Curriculum
Our developmentally appropriate curriculum is designed to support the unique needs of each child, while fostering social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Our experienced teachers and staff work closely with parents to create a nurturing environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and a love of learning.
