Woodside Preschool is a non-profit, parent cooperative preschool. Woodside is the oldest preschool operating in Eureka and is staffed by a credentialed teacher/director and supported by dedicated parents. The preschool is fully accredited by the State of California and organized as a Nonprofit and Parent Cooperative Corporation, having an elected Board of Directors composed of parents who are responsible for the school’s operation. Parents work together to run the school, assisting in the classroom and helping to maintain the facilities. This approach fosters a community within the school and gives children their first bridge between home and school.

The preschool provides a safe place to play and learn to prepare for kindergarten. The school is very proud of their adult/child ratio of 1:5, not usually found in other school settings. This allows for more opportunities for problem-solving and one-on-one interactions. Hours of operation are from 9 am to 12 pm, Monday through Friday. Enrollment information can be obtained by calling 445-9132.
