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 →

Join the Brooklyn Preschool Community

Brooklyn is more than a preschool–it’s a community! Check out the video below to find out what makes Brooklyn special.

A Few Ways Brooklyn Stands Out:

  • Our preschool program starts at age 2.
  • We offer a part-time schedule (2 mornings/week for 2-year-olds, 3-4 mornings/week for 3-year-olds, and 3-5 mornings/week for 4-year-olds).
  • Families play an active role in their child’s first school experience. Families take turns supporting our teachers in the classroom (and have a family job to help run the school).
  • Community extends beyond the classroom. Weekly park playdates throughout summer, beloved events like our annual Lantern Walk, and community dine-in events at local restaurants are just a few ways families get together outside of school. Many families form lasting friendships at Brooklyn that persist for years.
  • Our on-site nursery provides care for younger siblings of students in the 3- and 4-year-old class while their families volunteer in the classroom.
  • Families benefit from parent education opportunities, including training on classroom conflict resolution, parenting-related speaker events at membership meetings, access to webinars, and regular small-group debriefs after school.
