University Heights Preschool was founded in 1976 is a parent-run volunteer cooperative. A parent-run volunteer cooperative means the governing body, the Board of Directors, is made up of volunteers from the families of our students. The Board of Directors volunteers oversee the preschool administration. Being a part of a parent-run preschool can be incredible because of the ability to be involved, connected, and steer the school in a direction that is child, family and community focused.
