Atascadero Cooperative Pre-School

My older daughter has just graduated from ACP and is moving on to kindergarten and my younger daughter cannot wait to start in the fall! Miss Tracy is warm, loving, attentive, and knowledgeable. The school itself is a sweet little house that has been converted into a school while retaining its fabulous backyard as a safe place for kids to play and explore. My older daughter learned so many valuable social skills here while also enjoying activities that promoted literacy, science exploration, and fundamentals of math in a montessori-​inspired curriculum. Make no mistake, the Co-​op environment is not for families looking strictly for daycare. There is a high level of family involvement, from parent work days in the class to take-​home prep projects for coming lessons. For us, this community of extended «family» was exactly what we felt our kids deserved for a rich, fulfilling childhood. Seriously, call to make an appointment to check out the school – you’ll love it!

Atascadero Cooperative Preschool is an absolutely amazing place. This school not only welcomes parent participation, but actively encourages and requires it. Kids are allowed to be kids here, and learn through play. One of the most important things to take away from this is that this is a school, and not a day care. Your child will be stimulated, and will have great stories to tell at the end of each school day, whether it’s about one of the pets in the classroom, or one of the field trips they go on.

We completed our first year at the preschool and can’t wait for the new school year to begin! This school has a warm and fun environment that allows kids to learn through play and encourages them to explore what they are interested in. The co-​op environment allows parents to be a part of their child’s first school experience as well as provides an opportunity for families to connect and build stronger ties in the community. My daughter loves this school and so do we!

We love this preschool! We have had 3 children attend over the last 6 years. The two who’ve finished were very well prepared for kindergarten with the skills they developed at the Atascadero Co-​Op. Preschool. The family involvement makes this school uniquely successful. With an education background, I have high standards. This is not daycare. The program is a healthy combination of academics, creativity, exploration, and social development. My daughter loves to go to school! I highly recommend the Atascadero Co-​Op. Preschool.
