Welcome to Our School!
Class size is limited to 10-15 children (depending on the room) guided by a certified lead teacher and an experienced assistant teacher. Both teachers are trained to promote the best development of each child.
Children learn by doing. Our program gives each child lots of time to explore, create and challenge themselves. We help children learn about themselves and their world to give them a strong basis for their educational career.
Learn more about our school setting, our preschool program, and check out our gallery!
Support the magic!
Your gift makes all of the best parts of Meadville Cooperative Preschool possible – small class sizes, talented & compassionate teachers and staff, exploratory learning materials, and more. Thank you for your support!

“Preschool is a magical place. It is often children’s first introduction to a school setting. Help your child learn that school is a place to play, learn, explore and have fun.”
-Meredith Magee form Home Grown Friends

I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the quality of your program. Throughout the years I have visited many childcare facilities, your program stands out among the best. Developmentally appropriate, creative and caring are a few of the words that come to mind. If I ran the world, I would utilize many of the characteristics within your program as a sample of how preschool programs should be implemented. Since that isn’t so, I will find solace in knowing that Meadville Cooperative Preschool provides an enriching environment for our young citizens to grow and enjoy. It’s on to a new chapter for me, one I am excited to start. Thank you for you service and comradery throughout the years. I always looked forward to spending time at MCP.
Sincerely,
Barb Newcamp

“We wanted to take a moment and send a personal thank you note for the care and learning you have provided Konnor this year. He truly loved being there with all of you and we are blessed to be able to give him this start. The thing that we felt about the way your organization is ran is that your staff truly cares about children and each other and you make a great team. That is rare and something to be honored and valued. We look forward to the same thing for our Kaelynn.”
