Program History
The Child Care Providers Preschool Co-Op was formed back in 1975 as a child-centered preschool laboratory. Affiliated with Edmonds Community College CPPC provides the childcare community a opportunity to further their education in early childhood.
In the preschool classroom parents, providers and teachers become active partners in the children's education. Research supports the long-term benefits of this type of early learning community involvement.
Skilled Edmonds Community College faculty plan and implement learning opportunities for both providers and parents. Our skilled teachers provide a wonderful hands on learning environment for the children.
