History

Northaven Co-operative Preschool and Kindergarten has been in existence since 1969.  It was started by a group of mothers interested in an alternative, quality preschool that was different from others they had found in Dallas.  The parents whose children are enrolled in the school operate the Co-op.  Northaven Co-operative Preschool is non-sectarian, valuing variety and differences in background among its families as well as deep commitment to the growth and education of children. It is an extension into the community of the Northaven United Methodist Church's respect for openness in human relationships, for the worth of the individual, and for cooperation among many adults as they care for children and for each other.  For more information on United Methodist Church, please visit www.northaven.org.

 

 

Philosophy

The Vision
Our first priority, always, is to nurture students and families, creating an environment for learning and growth.

The Organization
The teachers at Northaven Co-op have broad experience in early childhood education.  Our teachers are dedicated to learning experiences, and to the enthusiastic sharing and enjoyment of knowledge.

Northaven welcomes parents of prospective students to visit the school and observe the Northaven learning experience.   Northaven Co-op is entirely self-supporting. The commitment of the co-op parents to the day-to-day learning experience keeps tuition affordable.
