What is a Cooperative Preschool?
A cooperative preschool is organized and administered by the
parents and operated under the direction of a trained teacher.
Its success depends on the colaborative efforts of all members.
A co-op operates most effectively when parents and the teacher
work together by pooling their intelligence and resources to the
best advantage of the children.
Parents are an integral part of the school, giving their time
and talents by serving as officers or on committees, as
parent-helpers in the classroom, by participating in
fundraising activities and by attending monthly general meetings.
Parents of enrolled children shall be members of Mt. Tabor
Preschool, Inc., which has been in continuous operation since 1951.
Mt. Tabor Preschool is a member of
Parent Child Preschools of Oregon (PCPO).

School Philosophy
Mt. Tabor Preschool is a developmental, cooperative preschool.
We believe that each child develops at a different rate physically,
socially and intellectually. We endeavor to provide a wide variety
of experiences to accommodate the children’s interests and needs
as individuals and as a group. Experiences are provided to
stimulate socialization skills and promote self-esteem.
Parental support and education are important aspects of preschool.
A cooperative preschool gives parents an opportunity to participate
in activities with their child.
I hope that you will come to value the connectedness that comes from working in your
child's classroom. -Amy Jacobson, Jr & Sr Teacher

Parent Involvement
The success of a co-op preschool depends on parental involvement.
Parents are not only responsible for raising money for the school
but for handling its day-to-day operations. Without their efforts,
the school could not continue to exist.
Each parent is counted on to contribute in five basic areas:
- Tuition
- Fundraising
- Parent-helping
- Preschool "jobs"
- General membership meetings
