Class Groupings – Acton Cooperative School

The children are placed in a horizontal grouping:

3-year-olds (Bears, Beetles and Butterflies) meet two times per week.
4-year-olds ( Fireflies) meet three times per week.
Pre-K (Frogs) meet three times per week and (Bees) meet four times per week.

Classroom times are 9:15-11:45AM and 12:30-3:00PM, Monday through Friday.

Classes have their own rooms; however, they often mix on the playground and occasionally at holiday/annual celebrations.

I enjoyed drop-off and pick-up, with all the parents hanging around, sharing, and learning about our roles as parents. My daughter is halfway through grade school now, and we both continue to see friends made during that time and count some of them among our closest friends.

The Acton Coop allowed us the opportunity to participate in the classroom with our son and daughter. Not only did we get the chance to get to know the wonderful teachers that much better, but we got to know all of our children’s classmates and the other parents too. We can’t imagine having had a better pre-school experience than the one which Joan and all of the teachers at the Coop provided!
