Programs

Inman Park Cooperative Preschool classes serve children between the ages of 12 months and five years. One- and two-year-old children are grouped with others of the same age to enable them to adjust to the preschool setting and to enjoy age-appropriate activities without unnecessary frustration. Multi-age classrooms for three- and four-year-olds provide a wider experience, allowing children to interact with friends of varying ages.

IPCP maintains small class sizes to ensure maximum attention is paid to each child.

Student to teacher ratios are:

• 1 to 5 for one-year old children
• 1 to 6 for young two-year old children
• 1 to 7 for younger “multi-age” class
• 1 to 8 for three- and four-year old children

In addition, there is a parent teacher for each set of classes each day to help facilitate learning and one-on-one attention.
