Pierce College Now Enrolling for Winter Preschool Classes

Pierce College Fort Steilacoom’s cooperative preschool is now enrolling children ages 18 to 36 months for its winter Parent and Child class.

In this unique program, parents attend class with their children, exploring a wide range of topics, including nutrition, guidance and child development. This approach allows parents to learn firsthand how best to teach and care for their child, build relationships with other parents, and earn two college credits.

A parent education instructor and other parents in the class provide parents a network of resources and support. At the same time, children are working in a developmentally appropriate preschool, exploring their world and developing physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Each environment is designed to capture the child’s interest and help their development in each area.

Starting Jan. 18, the Parent and Child preschool class (Early Childhood Education 148) meets from 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesdays for 10 weeks at Pierce College Fort Steilacoom. Cost is $66.50 (lab fee) and $28 for registration. Enrollment is capped at 12 children, so interested parents are encouraged to reserve their child’s spot immediately.

Pierce College’s parent co-op preschool has been operating for more than 35 years, providing critical support and care to thousands of families in Pierce County. For more information or to reserve a spot, call (253) 964-6691.
