Engaging, exciting, non-stop action…there isn’t one singular thing that describes learning at the Milford Cooperative Preschool! Using High Scope teaching methods in a cooperative, community supported learning environment, we provide an active, immersive, and participatory approach to learning. By combining key classroom ingredients: material, manipulation, choice, communication and adult support, children build knowledge through their own experiences, as a result, learning HOW to learn while building self confidence and independence.
Lovingly known as “MCP”, our school has been a member of the Milford community since 1949, when it was founded by a group of grandmothers. Located at 525 Hickory St (behind the old stone church) in downtown Milford, today we are a certified 501 (3) c non-profit organization run by an enthusiastic group of teachers and parents who are dedicated to providing an active education that focuses on the importance of community as we support and enrich the community that has done the same for us since 1949.

Building our community
We love our Cooperative!
The cooperative format offers exciting and engaging opportunities for students to learn about the world around them, while offering parents the opportunity to be involved in their child’s education. In addition to their normal preschool curriculum, students have been visited by a hobby farmer and her chickens, participated in a lego car assembly line (facilitated by a process engineer) and watched an industrial engineer sketch up an aeronautical prototype based on their specifications!
Every member of our Multiage Preschool Program is a member of our Cooperative. Membership is easy (and fun)! We are fully staffed with teachers to fulfill our legal ratio requirements, parents are involved to offer enrichment by the utilization of their special talents and skills, or to enjoy time in the classroom as a classroom helper.
