What is a Co-op?
A cooperative preschool is a parent-run preschool, in which the school’s member-families offer classroom support, in addition to taking on a family job that contributes toward the school’s day-to-day operations.
Brooklyn Cooperative Preschool
Located in Southeast Portland, Oregon, Brooklyn Preschool was founded in 1971, on the belief that children and parents benefit from a shared learning atmosphere. We foster community and a shared responsibility for our children, while playing an active role in their preschool experience. About Brooklyn Preschool →Learn more about Brooklyn
