How do teachers benefit from the cooperative program?

• Teachers really enjoy getting to know the children and their families.  It’s more fun working as a community.

• Communication with families is easier; as a result, teachers and families tend to be more consistent in their work with a child.  They can use the same terms, work on the same goals more easily.

• Parents and teachers can draw on each others’ knowledge and resources.

Note:  The Virginia Cooperative Preschool Council web site provided some of the information for this section.
