What makes Family Preschool special? Let's count the ways. πŸ’› Part 1: Our co-op community. At FPS, you're not just enrolling your child β€” you're joining a village. Parents work alongside each other in the classroom, at work days, and at social events, creating the opportunity for real friendships that extend well beyond the preschool years. The kind of village that's there to watch your kid if you're running late, up for an impromptu playdate, will send flowers when you've lost a loved one, or set up a meal train when you need it most. It's like having a second family.

What does "learning through play" really looks like at FPS? Last year alone, our classes dove deep into projects on books, animals in winter, and garden helpers β€” all because the kids asked the questions. That's the Project Approach: real curiosity, real investigation, real learning. No worksheets required. πŸ›πŸ“– We can't wait to see what next year's projects will be!

Ever wonder what makes Family Preschool different from a typical daycare? At FPS, parents get to be in the classroom, working alongside our amazing teachers. For over 50 years, that's meant real relationships, real community, and kids who grow up surrounded by people who know and love them. πŸ’› Curious what co-op life looks like? Send us a message β€” we'd love to show you around.
