Learning. Together.
As a parent, you know your young child is a curious explorer, eager to interact with you and the world around them. Lincoln Park Co-op offers the opportunity to expand that world with a community of people who will support your child and your family as you enter into this next stage.
Students at Lincoln Park Co-op begin their school year with a gentle separation policy that helps children understand that school is a safe place, with nurturing teachers who care about them and their ideas. We believe that learning takes place within the context of authentic relationships. We have a deep respect for children as collaborators in their own development, and teachers pay special attention to the ideas, interests, challenges and strengths of each individual student in their class.
Teachers embrace opportunities for cooperation among the children in their groups. As children’s relationships grow with one another, teachers assist children in recognizing the impact that their words and actions, both positive and negative, have on one another and the classroom environment. Together as a class, teachers and children engage in social problem solving which allows each child to feel valued as an individual and as a member of the larger group.
