Bigelow Cooperative is a non-profit early education and care facility committed to providing an extended family experience and a safe and caring environment for children. The program is designed to nurture the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development of children from 3 months to kindergarten age. Parents take an active role both in and out of the classroom. Our goal is to nurture a love of learning by treating children as responsible, competent and capable learners in an environment that promotes independence, creativity and curiosity. In admitting families and hiring teachers, Bigelow strives for cultural diversity. Bigelow admits students without regard to race, cultural heritage, religion, political beliefs, disabilities, sexual orientation or marital status of parents.
