SIC (US 1987) : Valley Pre-School was formed in 1949 by a dedicated group of parents who wanted to provide a quality pre-school educational experience for young children. In those years, the public school system did not offer kindergarten classes. Students began their public funded educational training in first grade. Once kindergarten was instituted into the Granby Public School system, Valley Pre-School cut back its offerings and taught only classes for three year old and four year old students.
Those founding parents wanted to provide the best educational experience by placing the emphasis on employing superb teachers well trained in early education and by purchasing quality educational equipment and supplies for their students. Tuition revenues were primarily used for these purposes. The parents of the students took on the responsibilities of administering the school and helping in the classroom as ways to reduce tangential costs. This unique partnership between teachers and parents has provided an essential bridge of learning and a sense of enduring community between home and school that is especially important in the education of a young child. The cooperative model has been the grounding for Valley Pre-School for over 60 years!
