Introducing Exciting Changes To Our 2012-2013 Class Schedule
We are very excited to announce the addition of two new programs in our class lineup for the 2012-2013 school year.

• Twos/Young Threes
  We are expanding what was formerly our Twos C class to a Twos/Young Threes class. To keep the student age difference appropriate for this age level, this class will be reserved for 2 year olds and 3 year olds that will not turn 4 before February 1, 2013.
• Threes/Fours With Enrichment
  We are adding a 3rd day to our Threes/Fours program. We introduced this class in 2011 as a 2-day pilot on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to its amazing success, we are giving it a permanent spot on our class schedule and are adding an Enrichment Day on Wednesday. This 3rd day will feature quarterly themes like literacy, math and science, which children will learn through fun and creative activities such as cooking, science experiments, story dictation, and games.

Cooperative: working or acting together willingly for a common purpose or benefit.
The environment at Madison Park Cooperative Preschool (MPCP) is supportive in providing a fun first experience in a school setting where children gain confidence as they begin to master social and academic readiness skills. In addition, parents and caregivers gain useful information and guidance techniques with the support of Parent Educators.

The involvement of parents and caregivers
MPCP is managed by a parent Board of Directors, each family attending the co–op serves on one committee, and parents assist teachers in each class.
Being part of a cooperative preschool offers parents the opportunity to watch their child grow in his or her first contact with a group outside of the family. It offers parents direct involvement with the teachers and children who define this new step in the child's life.

Perhaps the most lasting effect of joining the co–op is the sense of community support that develops among the parents.

A school with strong roots
MPCP began in 1970 as a small baby–sitting cooperative. Recognizing the need for current parenting information and early childhood education, MPCP became one of several parent-operated preschools affiliated with the Parent Education Program at Seattle Central Community College.
