WPNS Cooperative Learning Center, Inglewood | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We have been at WPNS for almost 2 years now, we joined when the school was just getting comfortable with the new pandemic protocols. When people ask what we like most about the school we say the teachers and the how happy our kids are at drop off and pick up. The teachers are amazing and support the entire student – their academics, their well being, their diverse cultures and their specific learning needs. The director Joyce has a special way with the kids. She seems to really understand what each student & the teachers need to be successful. She spends most her day in the classroom, and takes those understandings into consideration with the administrative decisions her role requires of her. I’ve called her on numerous occasions to ask for personal advice regarding my kids and handling what life throws at us and she makes time for everyone and doesn’t complain about it. All the full-time teachers seem to actually enjoy their roles. They hug our kids, they love on our kids, they work through big feelings with our kids. I love that I can trust them to care for my kids especially when my tank is running low. I know I can count on them to help bridge the gap. The parents and especially parents on the school’s board are so kind, they care about the entire community and create awesome actives for families to come together among many many other things that help the school thrive. Community is what we as parents need most and if you have none, or are looking to expand yours, check to see if WPNS will be the right fit for your family.

If i’m honest the initial reason I sent my daughter to WPNS was the affordable price point – VERY rare these days! – and that I could walk there with my girls. It’s turned into much more than that for my daughter and us! I love that she has blossomed there. I’m constantly blown away how the teachers are able to not only keep our kids safe all day but intimately know each and every one of them and what they need. On top of all that they do in a day they’re constantly planning and executing the sweetest activities that are truly above and beyond, and I have no clue how they do any of it. This is a coop, so parent involvement is expected. I think it’s what you make of it, and for us once we got through the learning curve it’s more than worth it and is even fun and way to create community if that’s what you’re looking for. WPNS is a large open space split up into smaller focused spaces and back garden area perfect for getting barefoot and dirty. There are boundaries in place with a lot of freedom in the middle which I think has worked great for my daughter.
