As a Sudbury Cooperative Family, You Receive
- Comfort:
With the opportunity to personally know all the teachers and families who interact with your child.
- Community:
By joining a group of families and educators who share a commitment to play-based, child-driven education.
- Personal Growth:
With our open door policy, you will always have the opportunity to be a part of your child’s classroom. Come in for a birthday celebration, read a special story to your child’s friends, be a part of a fun craft activity, or see your child participating in their circle time activity. You may pick up on some tricks of the trade for our experienced teachers. You can also share your own caregiver techniques and exchange ideas with other Coop families
- Family Participation Enhances a Child’s First Learning Experience
Each member of our community is a contributing member. We respect and value differences: caregivers, teaching staff, and children interact respectfully and communicate openly. As part of the Sudbury Coop, you get to know the students, families, and teachers in your child’s school, through community events, in school activities, and opportunities to be a part of your child’s classroom. We understand families are working and busy, family participation is meant to be a gift not a burden. For more information inquire with Carrie Angelo, Director.
As a Sudbury Cooperative Student, Your Child Receives
- The benefit of experienced, committed educators:
Our EEC certified staff have an average of more than ten years experience in the classroom. Their degrees are in diverse fields, including science, early childhood, and art. They share a passion for developmentally appropriate learning that engages the whole child.
- A gentle introduction to school:
Our teachers visit with each child prior to the beginning of school. For new students and Toddlers, home visits are available. We actively work with families of children with separation anxiety to make the transition to school as easy as possible.
- A customized approach:
At The Sudbury Cooperative Preschool, our curriculum is a dynamic and responsive framework that evolves to meet the changing needs, interests, and developmental stages of the children. We honor each child’s individuality by supporting growth at their own pace, fostering a sense of confidence and competence in a nurturing environment.
With small class sizes, our teachers are able to form meaningful connections with each child and their family. This allows us to tailor learning experiences that reflect each child’s interests, strengths, and readiness. Our educators act as facilitators—encouraging independence, social development, problem-solving, and self-help skills through gentle guidance and play-based exploration.
Learning is woven into every aspect of the day. Age-appropriate activities promote early literacy, numeracy, scientific thinking, and social-emotional growth. Through hands-on, engaging experiences, children develop a lifelong love of learning and the skills they need to thrive.
- A foundation for social success:
Sudbury Co-op students build social and emotional competence through interactions with a wide variety of families and teachers. One benefit of this interaction is a strong foundation for learning throughout each child’s school career, and for the rest of their lives.
