Welcome to Broadview Co-operative Preschool

Broadview Co-op is located at Grace Lutheran Church. Our room is a large and bright space that allows for dramatic play, large motor skill development, circle time, sensory and art stations and a library space. Our back door opens up to the playground, where our children can play in a safe and enclosed area. We also have use of the gym for rainy day activities.

We offer programs for Toddlers, Pre-3’s and 3 to 5’s programs. Our Co-op has a strong history with many returning parents, children and teachers. The opportunity to spend time with our children in a preschool setting and watch their development along with their peers is a treasured experience. Many long lasting relationships between children and between parents have started at Broadview Co-op.

Our Curriculum

Our teachers and parents work to provide an interesting and meaningful learning experience for our preschoolers using the emergent curriculum model.

Emergent curriculum describes the kind of curriculum that develops when exploring what is socially relevant, intellectually engaging, and personally meaningful to our preschoolers. Emergent curriculum arises naturally from adult-child interactions and situations that allow for teachable moments.

Emergent curriculum is not built on children's interests alone; teachers and parents also have interests worth bringing into the curriculum. The values and concerns of all the adults involved help the classroom culture evolve.

What’s special about Broadview?

At Broadview, we have a great space in an elementary school setting that allows our preschoolers to observe school children in the halls, classrooms and playgrounds. Our room is large and organized into interesting stations for our children to explore and learn while developing new social relationships. Broadview has a strong history with many returning parents, children and teachers. We have a solid fundraising program and the sense of camaraderie among parents is apparent upon entering the classroom.

Field Trips are an important part of Broadview’s commitment to learning. These opportunities allow for children to learn outside of the classroom and experience “hands on” activities. Previous field trips have included visits to: a pumpkin farm, a grocery store, a fire station, Seattle Tilth, the Zoo and Carkeek park.

Extended day programs are for children who will be at least four years of age by August 31st , which begins in November and runs through May. The extended day program allows for the older children to develop skills appropriate to their ages and that requires more attention and detail. The teacher will determine days and times.

What’s your involvement?

Each parent is required to work in the classroom, hold a position on the board or participate on a committee, to fundraise, and attend monthly parent meetings.
