Why Do We Exist?

Liberti Fairmount Cooperative Preschool exists as a Christian learning environment designed to nurture its children’s capacity to grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually.

How Do We Behave?

  1. We empower learning, partnering with families to best care for the individual needs of the child; providing education without pressure; empowering our children.

  2. We have a sense of community and neighborhood.

  3. We strive to be available to more neighborhood families; having a natural, non-stressful, organic growth process; working with the layers of families present (those who age out, those who have been around, and those who are new).

  4. We are socially connected, having a community within the cooperative, socializing with one another, birthday parties, play dates, etc.

  5. We collaborate and are involved

    1. We are willing to work with others on a team; accepting of one another though we’re not all the same

    2. We are open minded to the mission and vision of the preschool and to being more involved with an eye towards the future of the preschool

    3. We are actively engaged as parents, identifying and developing parent volunteers for each class and giving each parent a meaningful role.

  6. We work towards a balanced number of boys and girls

What Do We Do?

We provide an affordable Christian preschool that is committed to nurturing each child as a whole.  This is achieved through a variety of activities that are developmentally appropriate and recognize the individual needs and differences of children. Through Christian principles, children are encouraged to be independent thinkers and life-long learners.

How Will We Succeed?

  1. Community: We intentionally connect families across classes and the three year cycle. We are proactive about our teachers being happy, making sure they have prep time built in and that their needs as teachers are taken care of by the preschool.

  2. Communication: We communicate well through our administrative team and get that communication out with timeliness, regularity, and a cohesive core behind the message.

  3. Fiscal Responsibility: We make sure the classes are filled, folks are paying on time; and maintain a strong balance between income and expenses (staying on budget; expansion, etc.); we pursue fundraisers (happy hours, rentals, etc.); and provide our Lead Teacher and staff with the resources and funds to provide what the children need.
