Phinney Neighborhood Preschool Coop

Creating a family-oriented preschool, the Phinney Neighborhood Preschool Coop is parent-run, requiring that each member parent participate at some level in his or her child's classes. Founded in 1981 from a grant from the Seattle-based Phinney Neighborhood Association, its success has led to expansion grants from the city and the opening of two additional preschool cooperatives - the 65th Preschool Cooperative Street in 2001 and Phinney Cooperativa Preescolar en Español in January 2010.
