FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are you a drop-off childcare program?

No. BUT we now offer a preschool program which provides parent education at the beginning of class and then parents are free to stay with their children or leave and come back for pick up! Please see our "Classes" page for details!

Can I visit a class?

Yes! We encourage families interested in joining Co-op to come and visit. Please email us at earlylearningcoop@gmail.com to request a visit. Visits are typically from 9:30-11:30 so you can have a feel for the rhythm of the day, meet the teachers, and see a class in action. You are welcome to bring your child to the visit. If you'd prefer a 1:1 appointment with the teachers outside of class time, we can arrange that as well!

When do classes run?

Classes run on a similar schedule to local schools. We run September through June with holidays and breaks much like the local preschools and schools. We typically have classes four days a week, Tuesday through Friday, with some exceptions. The class calendar is the best place to get current dates and breaks.

What about sick days or absences due to travel?

We understand family life! We have a generous make up policy where you can make up any missed days by attending any other classes during the same school year. 

When can my infant move into the toddler class? 

We prefer to move children into the older classrooms at the beginning of the school year. 

How much do classes cost?

The registration fee is $50 and is non-refundable. You are not charged a registration fee unless there is a spot for your child and you agree to take it. Registration covers staff costs for processing your child's registration, name tags, and other materials throughout the year.

Cuddler Classes are $60 per month, September - June.

Waddler Classes are $90 per month, September - June. 

Toddler Classes are $90 per month, September - June.

Preschool Classes are $200 per month, September - June.

What about siblings?

Siblings of a similar age are welcome to enroll as well! If you have other children who need to tag along please contact your teacher directly to see if arrangements can be made.  

We have a change in our family schedule, how much notice should I give to my teacher?

We know that family schedules change or moves occur during the year. We request that families give their classroom teacher one month notice of their planned last day of school.
