WVCP mission and philosophy

The Westboro Village Co-operative Preschool was founded, more than 30 years ago, on the dual principal that children learn through play and that parental involvement is key to any child’s educational success.

Our program provides social, musical, physical, & linguistic play experience for each child’s individual developmental needs.

WVCP is all about learning through play!  Our co-operative environment encourages children, parents and teachers to share ideas, socialize, make connections, and build community.

We employ professional teachers with ECE qualifications, but, at the Westboro Village Co-operative Preschool, parents are an integral part of daily education, as well as the annual renewal of programs and facilities.

The Westboro Village Co-operative Preschool is a licensed non-profit for children 2-4 years old. It operates on a non-profit basis and is administered by its parent members in a co-operative format.
