Learning Together
Preschool is an exciting and wonderful experience for families. At The Cooperative Preschool of Bay Village, parents and teachers work cooperatively to promote an atmosphere of learning, enrichment, and growth for our early learners. Together, we hope to clear a pathway for our children to create new relationships, gain a sense of belonging, share experiences with others, understand “how to learn,” and to appreciate the beauty of learning.
The Cooperative Preschool of Bay Village is a non-discriminatory school and accepts children from all backgrounds. We are located within the Bay United Methodist Church but are a wholly independent entity not affiliated with any organization — religious or otherwise.
Covid Protocols
The safety of our students, our teachers and all of our families is by far our number one priority, and we will continue to adapt to changes as they come. It is our goal to teach children to be responsible members of society, which includes keeping themselves and others safe. Unfortunately, Covid remains a part of our lives and we will continue to do our part and adjust policies as necessary.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Co-op has committed to following the policies of the Bay Village City School District. While we are not affiliated with BVCSD, we trust and rely on their team of experts to make tough decisions. The Co-op also follows BVCSD’s open/close days. If Bay Schools close due to weather, virtual learning, or any other reason, we will be closed as well. If the Co-op has to close for any reason unrelated to Bay Schools, parents/caregivers will also be alerted immediately.
