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 Co-op 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 Co-op is a state-licensed, non-profit child-care
center.
It is an all volunteer-run cooperative serving approximately
twenty families. Member parents share the responsibilities of
childcare supervision, support the Co-op financially, and help
maintain the facilities. Member parents also have voting rights
in establishing Kids Care Co-op 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
Co-op owns a large collection of developmentally appropriate
toys, books, games, play equipment, and a variety of art
supplies. |
