Why choose a cooperative school?
The whole family benefits from the cooperative school model. Children enjoy very low child -adult ratios, and form relationships with many caring adults. They see their parents involved in their school on a daily basis, and share this positive attitude about school. Parents learn a tremendous amount about child development and early childhood education from working with the teachers and other parents. In addition, parents often gain new and valuable skills when working on committees and on the board. Cooperative schools generally offer lower tuition rates than non cooperative schools, because they employ less staff. For specific tuition rates for TPCNS, please see the Tuition section. Families as a whole benefit from being a part of the supportive and resourceful community of the school. For the whole family, friendships formed at TPCNS last far beyond the preschool years.
