Founded in 1940, the C-W Parent Co-op is Clark County’s oldest continuously-operating preschool. Our history, cooperative philosophy, and high teaching standards combine to make the Co-op one of the most sought-after early childhood educational experiences in the area.
The Camas-Washougal Parent Co-op is a cooperative preschool located in Camas, Washington. The preschool is run by an Executive Board and by a Parent Board, which is made up by the parents of our enrolled students. All administrative and maintenance tasks are completed by the Parent and Executive Boards. The teachers are the only paid employees. Each family donates their time and skills in different ways to help the school run. When you are a part of the CW Co-op, it really is YOUR school.
Attending the C-W Parent Co-Op is a privilege made possible by the efforts and dedication of the parents and families of our students. The hard work of our fantastic educators and the parts played by each family in the school come together to maintain our excellent and long standing reputation within the community.
