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.

The Acton Coop is such a warm and welcoming place that it eases the preschool transition for both the child and the first-time mom! I enjoyed being able to participate in my daughter's first school years, which helped both of us transition to her growing independence.

I love that all the Coop teachers are parents themselves and that they have all been teaching at the Coop for many years; between home and the classroom, they’ve seen it all. I’ve learned so much from watching them handle everything from temper tantrums to teaching moments with expertise and warmth. They are all smart, nurturing, and creative -- and made for a perfect first school experience for each of my children.
