The Co-op is run by a dedicated staff and a Board of Trustees comprised of volunteer parents and community members. Our staff is composed of qualified and highly trained teachers and classroom aides. The teachers are aided by one or more co-oping adults each day. Our child to adult ratio is 6:1 in our preschool program and 7:1 in the 4-Morning Pre-K class. These ratios are much lower than what the State of New Jersey mandates.
The teachers and support staff are the heart and soul of the school, spending countless hours to provide a quality pre-school experience for each and every Co-op student. The entire staff regularly participates in local, county, and statewide professional development workshops to keep informed about the most current research and ideas in early childhood education. Monthly staff meetings are held to facilitate the exchange of ideas and to provide a forum for discussion of curriculum and class activities.
