WELCOME TO NORTH SEATTLE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TODDLER COOPERATIVE SCHOOL!
North Seattle Community College Toddler Coop is a new school
which offers a great step into the world of cooperative
children's education. Our goal is to create a warm, fun, and
engaging environment for your child to learn, grow, and gain
confidence. Both parents and children have the opportunity to
make new friends, and parents gain the support so important in
raising energetic toddlers!
OUR CLASS
Our class meets Wednesday afternoons, from 3:00 to 5:00, in room
1405 of the Instructional Building on the North Seattle
Community College campus. The street address is 9600 College
Way N. Directions are available at the
NSCC Website and
transportation options are outlined.
We begin our
afternoon with time for outdoor play on the covered patio with
play structures, a sandbox, balls, and various mobile toys.
We then move inside for some opening songs and snack time. An
hour of free play follows in which children can choose from a
variety of activities including crafts, a sensory table,
imaginative play, books, and experiences with age appropriate
toys. The day closes with a circle time of songs, movement,
rhymes, story telling, and rhythmic instruments, and of course
goodbyes until next time.
THE PARENT ROLE
Parents play an integral role during each preschool session
and work together to create a safe dynamic environment for the
children to explore. In addition to working at a station
during free play every other week, basic parent duties include
periodically providing snack and helping with cleanup.
Parents also attend parent education sessions during school
time in addition to assuming a board or committee position for
the year.
We also have mandatory monthly parent education meetings, held
in the evening from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
OUR TEACHER
North Seattle Toddlers is delighted to have Diane Broderick as
the children's teacher.
Diane has been teaching through the North Seattle co-op system
since 1990, and earned her degree in early childhood education
at NSCC as well. Both of Diane's children have been involved
in co-op school from infancy to the eighth grade, so she's
experienced the benefit of parents and kids learning together
first-hand.
Diane's warm nature and energy make an instant connection with
the children who look forward to seeing "Teacher Diane" every
week.

The fee structure is outlined below:
- One time non-refundable registration fee of $30.
- NSCC registration/tuition for parent, which this year is $35 per semester.
