About CCP

The primary goal of Christian Cooperative Preschool is to provide a warm, caring place for children and their families to learn in a developmentally appropriate environment.  Families get the opportunity to meet and work with other families and teachers who share a common understanding for the interests and needs of young children. 

At CCP we understand that the act of playing is an important tool that influences a child's life.  It is often through play that children learn to make sense of the world around them. While children play, they develop physical coordination, emotional maturity, social skills to interact with other children, and self-confidence to try new experiences and explore new environments.

Enrichment opportunities are offered and may differ from year to year. These opportunities are available to all children attending CCP. Each session is tailored to the age level of the learner.  We have offered gardening, yoga, music, author visits, librarian visits, dental visits, and a special guest for the large unit of study!  In years past we have had visiting programs from The New England Aquarium, Michelle's Menagerie, Creature Teachers, The Reading Public Library, and Fire Safety with Fireman Ray to name a few.  We have also had field trip opportunities to the post office, the fire station, a local book store, a farm to pick apples or pumpkins and a trip to Stone Zoo.   

Promoting good nutrition is an important part of our curriculum. Children often help to prepare and/or cook the snack.  An allergy friendly snack and water is provided daily.  A brand specific snack list is periodically posted through online sign up.  We are prepared for children who have severe food allergies.  CCP is an allergy aware school.
