This is what learning looks like at MCP 💛

Our Pre-K students rode the bus to the Pacific Science Center for a day of hands on exploration. We regularly head out on field trips like this to support learning beyond the classroom. 🚌

Parent Education programs within North Seattle College and South Seattle College Cooperative Preschools will not receive state funding starting July 1. Across Washington, the parent ed program is offered at 16 schools statewide, and serves 4,500 families, including at North Seattle, South Seattle, Bellevue, and Edmonds Colleges, Shoreline Community College, and Lake Washington Technical College.

Community and technical colleges statewide are trying to maintain their cooperative preschools, where parents work and learn alongside their children, once major rule changes by the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges take effect in July.

In the Parent Education Program, which got its start in the 1930s, preschools serve as laboratories where parents join their children one day a week. As classroom teachers lead the lessons for kids, college faculty teach evidence-based parenting skills to the preschoolers’ parents, including positive discipline techniques, nutrition and sleep tips, and ways to boost kids’ learning through play.Photo Description: Children at one of North Seattle College's 11 cooperative preschools throughout the city.

Funding cuts are putting many Seattle co-op preschools at risk of closing.
Now is the time to show up for this incredible community of families.
