 The Somers Cooperative Preschool is a special place for young children and their parents. At the Somers Cooperative Preschool, we encourage play and socialization while offering a multitude of learning experiences in a supportive environment. The School's curriculum consists of story time, instructional craft projects, free play, music and creative movement activities, nature and science exploration, field trips that
expose children to the world around them and special visitors are regular components of the school curriculum.
The Somers Cooperative Preschool provides an opportunity for parents to learn with and about their children through active participation in the process. Trained teachers and parents work together to plan the school program. The energy and talents of parents are utilized in many important ways, for example, mothers/fathers assist teachers in the classroom on a rotating basis, and serve on various committees to provide program direction. A board of directors comprised of Preschool parents, in cooperation with the membership, actually operate the school and make all decisions regarding its operation and function.
The Somers Cooperative Preschool has adopted
the policy of a peanut butter and nut product
ban. Due to food allergies and Health Department
recommendations, no snacks containing peanut
butter or any nut product will be allowed
in the school. Parents of children who have
food allergies should provide a safe snack
for their child on school days.
The Somers Cooperative Preschool is licensed
by the State of Connecticut in addition to
being accredited by the National
Association for the Education of Young Children
(see press
release). The school is in the Bugbee
Center, located behind the Somers Congregational
Church on Main Street.
