Chelsea's Co-op Preschool since 1972

Chelsea Children’s Cooperative Preschool offers preschool sessions for 3 year olds, 4 year olds and 5 year olds.  Our 3 and 4 year old programs are taught by Mrs. Courtney Aldrich with Mrs. Deb Hubbard as her teacher’s aide.  Our Young 5’s program will be taught by Ms. Debbie Gesell with Mrs. Lena Carrara as her teacher’s aide. Our school embraces a “learning through play” philosophy.  Academics are introduced naturally and subtly.  Children choose to learn at their own pace while opportunities for self-expression and self-determination are encouraged.  We try to make a child’s first experience “on their own” as comfortable and as interesting as possible.  Social skills such as sharing and cooperation are basic to this comprehensive preschool experience.
