Northeast Cooperative Preschool & Kindergarten was one of the first cooperative preschools in the Indianapolis area. The non-profit was founded in 1955 and will celebrate its 65th anniversary during the 2020-2021 school year.
At Northeast (NECOOP), children, parents and teachers go to school together, each one learning from the other. As with all ICPC member preschools, NECOOP is run by parents, family members, and caregivers who work closely with qualified teachers to enhance the social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth of the children. The safe, age-appropriate programing is based on the value of each child’s individuality and uniqueness. At NECOOP, teachers facilitate daily options for free play that stimulate young minds, with a special emphasis on exploring outdoors.
Parents have good things to say about their experiences at NECOOP, including one former co-op parent who posted this kind review on the school’s Facebook page:
“Wonderful play-based preschool!” writes Katie Newell. “The kids grow so much through the program. I particularly liked getting to be in the classroom and know the other kids and their families. Kindergarten is wonderful too. Small class size, very experienced teacher, lots of hands on learning, fosters a great love of learning.”
NECOOP is accepting students for the 2020-2021 school year and currently has several openings. For more information, please visit https://northeastcooperative.org.
