About GGCP

Growing Gorillas Cooperative Preschool is designed to nurture your child's social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.

Mission Statement
What is a Cooperative Preschool?

A cooperative preschool is a place where parents and children learn together. Parents learn more about their own children, and their children's friends, as the children learn more about the world. 

The classroom experience can provide parents with a valuable understanding of how their child behaves like other children and how he or she is unique. By helping in the classroom and participating in the parent education program, parents can acquire skills in guiding their children and meeting their physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. The cooperative preschool is organized and administered by the parents. Parents hold offices, work on committees and assist the teacher as "parent helpers" in the classroom. The classroom operates under the direction of a trained teacher. The teacher determines the curriculum, maintains standard procedures for the school program, and serves as a resource on child development and parent education. 

In a cooperative, the parents enrich the program by contributing their commitment, talent, and skills. Their participation helps ensure the smooth operation of a high quality program. Parents find that the more they give, the more they, and their children, receive.
