COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Starts Here
“...parents and children learn together through shared life in both home and school”
PCPI is a non-profit international council dedicated to the family and the community.
PCPI represents more than 50,000 families and teachers, providing on-going support to families, educators, and social agencies who recognize the value of parents as teachers of their children and the necessity of educating parents to meet the developmental needs of their children. Membership is open to schools, councils, libraries, and individuals.
PCPI promotes and supports...
Family involvement,
Learning through play
Family education, and
Building community connections.
The birth of PCPI was the natural outgrowth of the spread of cooperative preschools. From their beginnings in 1916, cooperative preschools have sought ways to share information and resources.
