History and General Information

The Paso Robles Co-Op Preschool was founded by a group of parents who recognized the importance of parental involvement in the education of young children.

Since 1969 we have served families who have a special desire to share in their child’s first school experience. We believe the efforts, individual talents , and the direct involvement of the parents during the school day make for a unique educational endeavor. Because we are a cooperative preschool, the administrative responsibilities of the school belong to the Board of Directors.

Staff

Our teachers are a very talented collection of trained professionals, diversified in backgrounds and interests (With a minimum of 12 ECE units) to provide the children with a wide range of experience and expertise.

State Licensed Facility

Every opportunity possible will be used to foster the child’s use of language and his understanding of his surroundings. Encouragement will be provided for all aspects of learning.

To provide each child with a spark for learning and a thirst for knowledge that will stay with them long after they leave preschool. This spark comes from within and serves as a motivating force, a positive and important component of one’s total being. We want the children to know that we love them, and we are there for them as individuals. The relationship between the children and the teachers will be a bond developed through trust, love, and understanding. From here, learning and the quest for knowledge can take place in its essence.
