Cooperative preschools provide parents with the opportunity to be intimately involved in their child’s first school experience. Parents gain a better understanding of their children's individuality through observing them with other children the same age and can use the classroom experience to strengthen their own parenting skills. Additionally, parents have the opportunity to interact and associate with other parents who share their interests in the welfare of children and the community.

Each family belonging to WLCP is responsible for the following:

·         Parent help in the class (approx. twice per month)
·         Attend general meetings (approx. five per year)
·         Participate in all fundraisers
·         Serve on a committee or on the Board of Directors
·         Pay monthly tuition and fees in a timely manner
