Midland Cooperative Preschool (ages 1-3)

This is a great school for 1-3 year olds and parents! I took my older daughter through for the 1s and 2s class and am back for my second year with my 2 year old. This is a sweet school that is very unique. You attend once a week with your child and stay with them for the 2 hours. And! for 1 one of those hours you get to have a parent education discussion in an adjoining room. This was the best part for me as a first time mom. The kids play while you talk! They can come in and check in with you whenever they want. The preschool has been around for over 20 years and has loads of great materials including a sensory table, a big play kitchen, a reading nook, and lots of manipulatives.
