We’re getting so close to the beginning of a new school year here at Ypsi Co-op! I just finished making the name tags and journals! I can’t wait to get started!

Here is a sneak peak at some of the changes I have been working on in the classroom over the summer. We have a much larger block area AND pretend play area! No longer are they both crammed into the same space! I'm excited to welcome our 3's class kiddos into the 4's class and a brand new 3's class this coming school year! We still have a few spots open and would love to welcome your entire family into our preschool community! Applications are available on our website: www.ypsicoop,org. And feel free to contact our membership team with any questions: [email protected].

The Gift of Being Known

In a small cooperative preschool...

Teachers know every child.

Parents know one another.

Children know they belong.

Those relationships create a safe place for children to ask questions, take risks, build confidence, and grow.

Sometimes the greatest gift we can give a child isn't a bigger program.

It's a place where they're truly known.

Not Every Family Needs Full-Day Preschool

Michigan's GSRP program is a wonderful option for many families, especially those who need full-day care.

But not every family is looking for the same thing.

Some families are looking for...

🌱 A slower pace.

🌱 Smaller class sizes.

🌱 More parent involvement.

🌱 Time for grandparents, playdates, and family adventures after school.

That's why our part-time, cooperative preschool continues to be the perfect fit for many families.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer—only the right fit for your child.

Independence Isn't Taught in a Hurry

Children become independent by having time to practice.

Time to zip their own coat.

Time to pour their own water.

Time to solve problems.

Time to make mistakes.

Time to try again.

Our Montessori-inspired classroom gives children those opportunities every single day.

Confidence grows one small success at a time.

More Than a Drop-Off

Many preschool programs begin with a quick hug and a wave goodbye.

At a cooperative preschool, parents become part of the experience.

You aren't just dropping your child off.

You're helping build the community your child is growing up in.

Your child sees you investing in something that matters.

And that's a lesson they'll carry long after preschool ends.

Remember When Neighbors Knew Each Other?

One of the beautiful things about a cooperative preschool is that families truly get to know one another.

Parents work together.

Children grow up together.

Friendships form naturally.

In a world where so many parents feel isolated, our co-op becomes more than a preschool.

It becomes a village.

And every family deserves a village.

Children Aren't the Only Ones Who Grow Here

One of the greatest benefits of a cooperative preschool is something many families don't expect...

Parents become part of the journey.

By spending time in the classroom, families get a front-row seat to their child's learning.

They see friendships forming.
They watch confidence grow.
They learn new ways to support learning at home.

Many parents tell us they didn't just find a preschool...

They found a community.

This has been picked up and will be going to Ypsilanti Puentes Multilnigual School!

We still have one TWO-SIDED shelf available that is no longer needed at the preschool. It is approximately 6ft by 2ft. This is FREE to whoever can pick it up. Please help a teacher out - I need this out so I can start getting the classroom ready for the new school year!
