Program Philosophy
The Pre-Three Cooperative is a place for parents with young children to come with their child each week for activities led by an experienced Early Childhood Education teacher. Parents join others in a parent discussion with a Parent Education Instructor from Peninsula College. The Pre-Three Cooperative has been offering programs to parents of young children on the Peninsula for more than 30 years.

Parent Education is available at each session facilitated by an instructor from Peninsula College. Topics include child development, community resources, and other appropriate topics in parenting.
