About Us

Co-op’s are not like other preschools; parent involvement is the backbone of our school. Fredericksburg Cooperative Preschool is a cooperative, non-profit, state-licensed preschool program with no religious affiliation. Our school is parent-run with an operating board of directors and a voting membership. The educational program is under the guidance of our teachers. The teachers are responsible for the classroom and curriculum and the parents defer to the teachers’ professional expertise. Our aim is to provide a happy, early school experience in a healthy purposeful setting where children may grow naturally. The unique and exciting value of a cooperative school lies in the learning experience it provides for the child and the participating families.

 

FPI believes that a child's natural way of learning is through play. We believe the school should provide experiences that stimulate the child's development, as well as encourage social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. We also believe the school should stimulate the child's natural creativity and curiosity.
 

FPI does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender or disability as long as the student is able to function within our current facility.
