520			_a"Parent cooperative preschools, which first began in Seattle in the 1940s, differ from regular preschools in several ways. Co-ops are affiliated with community and technical colleges, which provide parent educators to work with families on parenting skills. But parents operate the nonprofit schools, with volunteers cleaning the facilities, overseeing the budget, fund-raising, hiring teachers and providing snacks. Parents must commit to working in class once a week (or on a regular basis), as well as attending evening parent-education sessions." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) This article discusses the benefits of cooperative preschools and reports that although "the co-op movement peaked nationally in the 1950s and '60s," it "remains strong in the Northwest."
