Co-op Program 
and Activities

Co-op Basics

The Home-school co-op meets twice a week; every Wednesday and Friday from 9:15 to 2:15. You DO NOT have to stay when your children are in our care. Use this to your advantage while we teach your children.

Each elective is taught over a six-week period. Every six weeks the topic for each elective will change. The idea is to introduce as much to the children as possible while still allowing them to learn about the subject, grow interest and have fun.


Curriculum

The curriculum used for each elective is based on the lesson being taught at that time. We do not focus on any one particular curriculum or theme but strive to find the best program of study and most appropriate lessons for each individual elective being taught at that time.


Electives

The basics of Spanish are taught using curriculum for age appropriate students.

Music:
