Dexter Cooperative Nursery
The Dexter Cooperative Nursery has scheduled an open house for 5:30 p.m. March 13.
Christina Ladd, Dexter Co-op publicity coordinator, invited the public to "at least take a look."
"Our tuition is much less than typical preschools, which is a benefit with the current economy," she said.
The co-op's purpose is not only to teach children, but to involve parents in the learning process. The facility is open Monday through Friday, with classes in the morning and afternoon.
The teachers are excited about the upcoming event.
"The co-op is a place where children can learn and play while making new friends," said 3's teacher Pam Wittenberg.
