Bates Technical College

Eastside Cooperative Preschool is affiliated with the Child Studies Department at Bates Technical College. Through our affiliation with Bates, we receive a variety of educational services. We strive to plan a developmentally appropriate education program for children and offer many education opportunities to parents and families. The benefits we receive from Bates include the services of the coordinators, use of the Bates Parent and Teacher Resource Center, and other special events. We also receive training and ongoing assistance for many of our board positions, as well as a few committee positions. Our Bates Instructor provides monthly workshops for teachers, trains and advises the board, and serves as a parenting resource for our preschool and its families.
