Welcome to Fort Steilacoom Parent Education Cooperative

Let’s play!

We are a non-profit organization providing Toddler Two and Tot pre-school programs that foster shared community and belonging.

We offer the six types of play to encourage age appropriate learning experiences. Students will build life long skills and friendships with peers and parents alike.

A.A. Early Childhood Education, B.S. Global Health

I have been working as a cooperative preschool teacher since 2013 and value the benefits that forging relationships with families has on the whole child. My role as an educator is to support and structure educational goals in a hands-on way that engages and excites children. I believe that play is the work of childhood and seek to provide meaningful, experiential learning opportunities for children of all ages. I am also a mother, gardener, baker, hiker and avid Michigan fan. I have lived in the Puget sound area since 2010 and love exploring all of its beauty with my two young children.
