Where Middletown families teach, learn, and grow up together.
Middletown Cooperative Preschool & Playcare is a small, parent-run school where families take turns in the classroom, know every child by name, and share the work of raising them.
Programs by age and day
Sprouts Room
Sensory play, story circles, and first friendships, with a parent helper in the room every session.
Saplings Room
Letters, numbers, and cooperative games that build the habits kids carry into kindergarten.
Oak Room
Our kindergarten-readiness class: writing names, science experiments, and a real classroom job board.
You're not dropping off. You're pitching in.
Lower tuition
Because parents share the classroom work, our tuition runs well below area centers of the same size.
You know the teachers — and the other kids' parents
Co-op days put you in the room. You'll recognize every family at pickup by October.
A say in how the school runs
Families vote on the budget, plan events, and sit on the board. It's genuinely run by its members.
