About Us
Kids' Co-op History
Kids' Co-op is a non-profit, non-sectarian cooperative school established in 1982 with a grant from the Junior League of Las Vegas. The school was modeled after the Child Development Lab at the Community College of Southern Nevada, and is also part of the nationwide network of parent cooperatives that began over 40 years ago. A fully licensed Kindergarten program was added in the 2003-2004 school year.
Cooperative Philosophy
Kids' Co-op is a joint effort of parents who govern the school, and the director and teachers, who oversea the educational programs. Parental education and involvement are central to the school’s philosophy. Parents at Kids' Co-op learn to efficiently nurture social, physical, emotional, and intellectual development of their children. The cooperative experience also serves as a model for parental involvement throughout a child's educational career.
Mission Statement
Kids' Co-op is a 501 (c) (3) organization committed to enriching the lives of Las Vegas children and strengthening their families through its developmentally appropriate Preschool and Kindergarten programs, through parent education and through community service.
