About Us
Here at Northern Heights Cooperative Preschool the foundation of the preschool is built on encouragement of of parent participation since it was founded in 1986. We firmly believe that childrens attitudes toward school in later years, benefit from parental involvement in preschool.
​
Our board is comprised solely of parents with children in NHCP, which ensures that the children's interests are given top priority. Among other things, the Board plans excursions, decides what educational material should be purchased, determines preschool policies, and ensures the preschools future success.
​
Even if you are not on the Board, co-op membership ensures that your suggestions and concerns will be heard and addressed. Also, all students' parents are welcome to visit the class at any time. Helping in the classroom is not mandatory.
