Phinney Neighborhood Preschool Co-op

Our Mission

Phinney Neighborhood Preschool Co-op (PNPC) is a vibrant, community-based cooperative preschool that fosters the social, emotional, physical, and mental development of young children through play-based, structured learning in a nurturing and connected community.

Our Goals:

Phinney Neighborhood Preschool Co-op’s community of families and teachers aim to:

• Create a safe, supportive, fun, and stimulating environment that encourages the social, emotional, physical, and mental development of young children through creative classroom and outdoor play
• Nurture each child’s sense of accomplishment and personal growth
• Encourage families to share their unique talents, interests, and experiences in ways that enhance their child’s class, as well as the larger preschool community
• Provide opportunities for parents to participate in their child’s first educational experience, working closely with teachers, parent educators, and each other to learn about child development and behavior, as well as parenting
• Develop and strengthen skills in group process, mediation, and leadership
• Foster a sense of community, support, and belonging for all those involved in the preschool
