DCP Read-a-Thon April 1st – 15th

DCP is beginning their annual fundraising efforts. This year, the school will participate in a read-a-thon, reading as many books as possible from April 1st – 15th. 

Given how important reading is during the preschool years, we chose a read-a-thon because it’s something the whole family can enjoy. Not only are children being whisked away to faraway places with fantastical characters, they’re also developing vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, critical thinking skills and conflict resolution. All of these skills are so crucial in setting the foundation for the next generation of lifelong learners.

We hope you’ll sponsor your DCP-attending family member, friend or neighbor through pledging your support!

Testimonials and Pictures from Miss Christine’s Pre-K Class

Now that all the holiday/new year hustle and bustle has died down, we thought we’d add some updates from this past fall.

Below are a few testimonials we’ve received from current DCP parents…

From Elaine K.

My daughter Katie has grown into a confident young leaner based on the support and nurturing she has received from the amazing teachers and parents at DCP. This Co-op is a jewel in our community and I’m proud to be a part of its success!!

Thank you for all that you do for our kids!!

From Eriko L.

When we got school this afternoon, my son, Toshiki, told me about how Australia is having alot of flooding. We watched the news on CNN during lunch before heading to school and he remembered it. I told him to ask Julie about it, as she is from Australia. I thought she could tell him about what she knows.

However, Toshiki was too shy to go to her, and went to the sensory table to play with his classmates instead. Since I myself was curious to talk to her about flooding, I went to Julie and she kindly shared information with me. I also told her that my son knew about the flooding and he was too shy to talk to her.

When I was leaving the school building, I saw that Julie was going to my son to talk with him. I was very moved to see Julie’s action trying to engage with him. I believe Toshiki was very happy to talk to her.

I think this is one of the many stories that makes our school so special and a great place for our children. Our kids can have close relationships with other parents through playing, talking and learning with them, and they will know that there are many people in the world who care and pay attention to them other than their own teachers and parents, which is an absolutely positive experience for children.

Thank you, Julie, and I am so glad my son can mingle with so many great parents!

From Chrissy G.

My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with our experience at the Duvall Cooperative Preschool. The “Blue School” is a little hidden treasure within the Duvall community. Miss Christine has a gift for making each child feel welcome, capable, and important. Parents are able to watch their child blossom into active learners. I would give the Duvall Cooperative Preschool my highest recommendation for kindergarten preparation.
