Currently Little Feet Cooperative Preschool
offers two 3-day classes on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays in addition to
one 2-day class held on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Each teacher posts a schedule of the daily
activities. This will serve as a guide in the classroom, but the program
may vary from day to day. The schedule is flexible and the times are
approximate. However, we usually maintain the same order of events so
the children have the security of knowing what to expect next. Teachers
direct the parent helpers on a daily basis.
Little Feet Preschool
is committed to an anti-bias curriculum. See our curriculum
page for detailed information and strategies for discipline.
For our approach to early childhood education, see our philosophy
page.

to be better parents."—Ruth Berkowitz
“I
love the community of Little Feet, it was so wonderful to get to know
the other families as well as all the other kids by being in the classroom.”
