Co-op Tots
This program offers a great first introduction to the rhythms of school for our littlest learners under 2 ½ years old. Our one hour weekly class includes circle time, a sensory activity or craft, and open play facilitated by one of our wonderful teachers. Currently offered at two class times (9:00 + 10:30) across 3 sessions – Fall, Winter, and Spring.
Thursdays: 9 & 10:30am
The 2s
Our youngest co-opers begin their journey by building autonomy and independence while developing important language and social skills in a warm, nurturing environment. Often a child’s first school experience, we offer a phased-in schedule in September to ease the transition. From October through January, we provide rolling admission based on when children turn 2 1⁄2 years old, with a 3-day program option beginning in February for families ready to extend their week.
Monday & Tuesday: 9 - 11:30 am
Optional: Wednesdays

The 3s
Our 3s are ready to independently explore classroom centers, build friendships, and develop motor skills through play and exploration. Important lessons such as patterning, sequencing, and two-step directions lay the foundation for future learning. Along the way, the children model kindness, sharing, and conflict resolution as they learn to be part of our classroom community. Music and Yoga are taught bi-weekly, and we offer a 4-day program option beginning in January.
Wednesday through Friday: 9 - 11:30 am
Optional: Tuesdays + Extended Day until 1pm
The 4s
Our 4s are the leaders of the school, learning through discovery, play, and repetition. The program emphasizes kindergarten readiness as children build number sense, strengthen phonemic awareness, and engage in enriching experiences throughout the school year. Conflict resolution, kindness and community building are also an integral part of the program. Music and Yoga are taught bi-weekly, and we offer a 5-day program option beginning in January.
Tuesday through Friday: 8:45 - 11:45 am
Optional: Mondays + Extended Day until 1:15pm

Summer Camp
Camp Funky Monkey, our 3-week summer camp, is available for currently enrolled co-op students and runs from late May into June. Camp-goers experience a fun new theme each week & lots of outdoor play!
Each day is filled with indoor and outdoor themed stations, creative crafts, engaging games, and hands-on activities that spark curiosity and joy. Campers will explore our three outdoor play spaces — the courtyard, blacktop, and playground — for a variety of sensory and active play experiences. Weather permitting, we’ll enjoy two water days each week with favorites like car washing, fence painting, fishing, toy washing, and more. Rain or shine, the fun never stops — camp is on in any weather!
Registration for Camp Funky Monkey typically opens in early spring
