Our classes are filled with materials, experiences, and people who nurture and stimulate curiosity, cognitive growth, emotional well-being, awareness of achievement, fine and gross motor development, a sense of self-esteem, socialization skills and self-care.

Parents are the backbone of our school and a child's most important teacher; most parents volunteer in their child's classroom once per month, resulting in an exceptional ratio of one adult per three children.

A day in the Barbara M. Tufts Cooperative finds children exploring a carefully planned environment, choosing activities that interest them, and moving freely from one experience to the next one.

Our school has certain requirements for students who wish to attend. Firstly, they must be at least 3 years of age and fully potty trained. This ensures that our classrooms are comfortable and appropriate for all students. Enrollment for the following school year takes place in January, giving parents ample time to prepare and plan for their child's education. The school year itself runs from September to May or June, typically lasting for 34 weeks. This schedule may vary slightly from year to year, but it provides a consistent framework for learning and growth. Overall, our school strives to create a positive and nurturing environment for students, and these guidelines help us achieve that goal.
