"It goes without saying that you want your child's first school experience to be inspiring, and set the standard for the years to come. But what's impressed me about Brooklyn Co-op is not only does it empower children to take ownership of their school experience, it empowers the parents. When you walk into that school as a parent-teacher, you take off whatever hats you usually wear, and you are there for the kids. At home you have bills and errands and phone calls. At the school, you're able to give in to being with the children without any distractions. There's a depth to their interactions that is hard to pick up when you're trying to keep them busy while making dinner. What you'll learn as far as prioritizing family time outside of school might surprise you. What you'll learn as far as participating in a classroom will extend far beyond the preschool years. You'll be much more comfortable in elementary classrooms interacting with the kids and the teachers. Instead of being an observer of your children's education, you'll be a participant."
