Family Cooperative Kindergarten, a precursor to the current preschool, was founded
in 1952 by a group of North Andover parents interested
in starting a public kindergarten. At that time, the Town was not
prepared for a kindergarten program, so the parents formed a private
cooperative school. These parents were guided by Mrs. Mary Charles, an early
childhood educator, who became the
School’s benefactress over the years. Family
Cooperative Preschool was established in 1969 when the
Town instituted the kindergarten curriculum in its public education system. The Preschool
moved from the Old Center to its current location in
1981. |
