Our family had a truly incredible experience at Wedgwood Cooperative Preschool during our time in the 3–5s and Pre-K classes. The intimate setting, paired with the deep involvement of parents, made for a unique and enriching environment for our twin boys and for us as parents. Being a two mom household, we appreciate the dedication to the co-op community to affirm our LGBTQIA+ community.
During our time at Wedgwood, I served as the registrar and was actively involved in the co-op. That parent participation is one of the things that makes this preschool so special. The community we built with other families was invaluable. The friendships we formed, both as adults and for our children, have continued well beyond the classroom.
The program itself is incredibly thoughtful and individualized. The teachers are exceptional, blending free play and structure in a way that nurtures each child’s growth. The Pre-K program, in particular, stood out for us. The small group work focused on kindergarten readiness skills that I believe truly set our twins up for success in elementary school. Teacher Kelsey went above and beyond to cater to our children’s’ special interests.
Now, after a year away while our boys settled into kindergarten, I’m thrilled to be returning to Wedgwood with our youngest one year old who will be starting in the toddler class this fall. It feels like we’ve come full circle!
I can’t recommend this cooperative preschool enough. It’s not only a wonderful early learning environment, but also a great way to connect with other local families in a meaningful way. We’re so grateful to be part of the Wedgwood community.
