Welcome to North Tacoma Cooperative Preschool!

North Tacoma Cooperative Preschool is where children ages 2-5 learn and grow in a positive, safe environment. Here, children explore and discover, practice social skills and develop a positive attitude towards learning, while parents discover and create alongside their children, learn about child development and join a community of other parents and professionals. We feature low tuition, a high adult-to-child ratio, parent education opportunities, and a wonderful teacher.

We offer two major fundraisers annually, along with year-round smaller fundraisers, that allow each family to meet their portion of the school goal. Please refer to the Fundraising & Support page for more information.
