"Cooperative" or "co-op" defines a group of people coming together in a joint
effort. A cooperative preschool is a group of parents joining together to
educate their young children. At Novi Co-op Preschool we hire professional
teachers to develop the curriculum, teach all classes, and guide each child
through their school day.
A cooperative preschool is a non-profit organization owned
 and operated by the
parents of the children enrolled. The parents assist the professional teachers
in the classroom on a rotating basis and participate in the classroom activities.
Each family shares in the operation of the school, thus making it truly a cooperative
venture.
Volunteer parents serving on a board position manage the business side of the co-op.
Board members are elected each spring and meet once a month to decide on polices and
guidelines for the operation of the school. At Novi Co-op Preschool parents, teachers,
and children learn together, play together, and grow together.

Greater Detroit Co-op Nursery Council’s website.
