Class Experience

PARENT-CHILD ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

In our Cooperative Preschool program, children between the ages of 18 months to 28 months of age get to participate in a 75-minute mini preschool program under the direction of our resident pediatric speech-language specialist and Assistant Program Director, Lara Goldstein, M.A. CCC-SLP. 


Each week, we will study a theme paired with a letter sound. Children will learn to act out the letter sound with their bodies through play; a modified Sound in Motion approach to building early phonemic awareness skills. Students will also experience circle time, story time, collaborative play and learn the weekly theme through sensory activities and process art projects. The focus of the curriculum for this age group is to let kids lead and expose them to a variety of toys, activities and friendships!


Our Co-Op program is child-led, but generally follows our preschool’s schedule with a more flexible routine to allow the group to flow and decide what we are all interested in as a community. By allowing children to lead in this way, we encourage them to foster their own independence and engage in a wider range of experiences.

Class Requirements

  • Children are expected to come in diapers and will have access to a diaper-changing station and time for changes by the caregiver/guardian that comes with the child.
  • A snack and water bottle is required for each class.
