Purpose
Originated in the 1970s (as the College Street Cooperative
Playgroup), our organization has a long history of helping
Iowa City families meet their childcare needs.
Kids Care Coop is a parent-supervised, non-structured play
environment for
children ages eight months to five years. Special accommodations
are made for children two months to eight months.
It is a great
place for kids to learn how to get along with others and make
friends. It is also a great place for mothers and fathers to
make friends!
Organization
Kids Care Coop is a state-licensed, non-profit child-care center. It is an all volunteer-run cooperative serving up to approximately twenty families at a time. Member parents share the responsibilities of childcare supervision, support the Coop financially by paying minimal monthly dues, and help maintain the facilities. Member parents also have voting rights in establishing Kids Care Coop goals and policies. Because the Iowa State Department of Human Services licenses Kids Care Cooperative annually, we follow the rules and regulations required of all licensed childcare facilities. Although we are an all-volunteer organization, we strive to maintain the highest professional standards among our staff and facility. After all, this benefits our own children!
Facilities
Kids Care Cooperative rents space from Trinity Episcopal Church
and shares the facility with the church nursery on Sundays. The
Coop owns a large collection of developmentally appropriate
toys, books, games, play equipment, and a variety of art
supplies. |
