Attendance Commitment Policy
Wildwood Co-op relies on the active participation of its adult members to function effectively. By joining Wildwood Co-op, parents commit to attending co-op sessions for the entire school year, as well as all planning and evaluation meetings. Except in cases of illness, emergency, or a rare scheduling conflict, parents are expected to attend all mandatory dates. Please refer to the list above under Mandatory Dates for Participating Parents 2025–2026.
Cost
We prioritize keeping costs low for co-op participants. One way we do this is by operating as a parent-led program; Parents volunteer to share the responsibilities of teaching, organizing, and nursery care. Term fees are collected at the beginning of each term and typically include Liability Insurance, class supplies, and facility rental. The final cost is estimated to be $500 per family, but it will depend on the final number of families enrolled and supplies needed for classes taught.
You must apply to join Wildwood Co-op. Before proceeding, please be sure you understand our Philosophy of Education and our Co-op Structure and Schedule.
