Whatcom Family Co-op Preschool

The Basics:

We offer two locations:

Whatcom Community College (Kelly Hall) and

Wade King Elementary School.

 

All our classes meet throughout the public school year, and follow the

Bellingham School District academic calendar. 

​

The school year runs from September to mid-June; enrolling in the co-op is a 10-month commitment.

Families in all programs participate in fundraising commitments throughout the year.

​

For our multiage programs, we ask that children be in underwear when attending school with the understanding that accidents happen.
