Victory Heights Co-op Preschool has two 3-5s classes. This afternoon (PM) class is for the elder group of 3-5s and the AM class is for the younger group.
The Victory Heights PM 3-5s program is currently enrolling for the 2008-2009 school year. We are located at the Victory Heights Recreation Center at the intersection of NE 107th Street and 19th Avenue NE. Our site includes a quiet neighborhood park with a large grass field and modern playground equipment. Before and after class each day many parents and children gather at this playground to catch up with each other, arrange play dates and carpools, as well as enjoy the weather, neighborhood, and community.
We meet Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Fridays, 12:30 – 3:30pm.

Our teacher, Suzie Barrow, is a former Co-op parent, and mother of four. She has been teaching preschool for six years, and brings with her many more years of experience in working with children. Suzie has a hands-on approach to learning, through play and socialization. She loves to foster creativity and self-expression through art and music. She has a natural enthusiasm for life and learning, and carries that over in the classroom, where children are encouraged to explore the world around them.
The PM 3-5s preschool program is geared towards kids who are entering kindergarten the following year. It provides many opportunities for creative and imaginative play. The children engage in open-ended art projects, lots of pretend play, block construction, sensory table play, story-telling and dramatization, concrete investigation of science and math concepts, and various types of manipulative activities. We encourage the children to share ideas, thoughts, and concerns in small and large groups. This builds confidence, self-esteem, and group cohesiveness. We provide a safe place where kids can learn about their world through play, while building lasting friendships.
Parents are expected to help in the class one day a week as well as serve a committee position (such as class photographer, field trip coordinator, or class treasurer). The parent who attends class also earns credit in Parent Education at North Seattle Community College.
