Application Process

Children playing with playdough. Has nothing to do with the application process other than to entice you. The application process is designed to help you get to know the group and how we interact with each other. During the school year, you also will see the Cooperative in action. The Kids' Cooperative is always taking applications. Throughout the year, it is possible for current families to leave and an opening to become available. We maintain a waiting list and contact families as soon as there is an opening. The membership process is on a first-come, first-served, non-discriminatory basis. We contact families in the order in which they appear on the waiting list, then request if the family is able to fill the opening. If the family is unable to join at that time, we contact the next family on the waiting list. If you are leaving town or move, you must contact Kids' Cooperative Recruiter to update your information. Families that are not reachable within a reasonable time are by-passed and the next family on the list is called.

Step One: Apply

If you are interested in applying to the Kids' Cooperative, please complete the Application and our recruiter will get in touch.

Step Two: Visit KCC

Families schedule a date and time with the Kids' Cooperative Recruiter. We encourage parents to come with the children who will attend (siblings are welcome at this time as well).

During the school year, available appointment dates are Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM.

Step Three: Become a Member

If there is an open spot at KCC, and you accept, the Recruiter will send you all necessary documents to complete before joining. Tuition may vary year to year but is around $500 a semester. If joining mid-semester, a prorated fee may be charged.

Thanks for your interest,
