Welcome To
Wellesley Cooperative PreschoolThe Wellesley and District Cooperative Preschool is a community resource providing families with an opportunity to enhance a child’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development through exploration and discovery in a nurturing and safe environment.
About Us
The Wellesley and District Cooperative Preschool started in September, 1987 by a group of parents in Wellesley who were eager to find a place where their children could learn and become more independent. The program continues today with families attending from Waterloo, the town of Wellesley and surrounding townships including Perth County. The Wellesley and District Cooperative Preschool is funded in part by the Region of Waterloo.
We are excited to announce we have been accepted into the CWELCC program!

Your Involvment
Board
All participating families share the responsibility of getting the tasks of the Wellesley Cooperative Preschool done. You will hold a position on our parent Board of Directors – assisting with fundraising, planning special events, and other important school activities. There is a preschool job to meet every member’s schedule and interest.
Meetings
All families also participate in two General Meetings each school year, before school starts (August) and in the spring (May). These meetings are where you exercise your vote on matters relating to the operation of the Wellesley Cooperative Preschool, so a parent or guardian is required to attend. General Meetings give you valuable information which will enhance your understanding of the preschool. They are also a great a place to meet and interact with the other parents.
