“LOVE Downey Co-op! Co-op has a little bit of a learning curve for parents because it involves the parent a lot more than conventional preschool, but when it comes to what's best for your kids, it's a no-brainer choice! We've sent both our sons to Downey Co-Operative Preschool. Our first son attended in 2015, and we currently have a kiddo enrolled. The teachers are kind, understanding, caring, and knowledgeable. They taught me so much about how to help my children learn and grow and self-regulate behavior in a peaceful, calm, kind way. While leaving mommy to head to class was no problem at all for my oldest, my youngest had more trepidation in the beginning. Mrs. Egan was wonderfully kind and reassuring and made that transition so easy. My youngest soon found it easier and easier to leave me at the door and head for his favorite activities! My kids spent their days in the classroom doing what all kids need to do more of- play! With lots of "old-school" favorite toys and activities that offer open ended and creative play, my kids quickly found their favorite things to do. They got their first experiences with painting at an easel (a favorite for both) and exploring different textures at the sensory table. They learned how to follow directions from a teacher, follow a classroom routine, drink from a regular cup, wash their hands by themselves, recognize their names, cut with scissors, develop fine motor skills, and gave them great social skills! I couldn't recommend Downey Co-Op enough.”
