SCC-affiliated co-op celebrates 30th anniversary

Patty Murray speaking at 30th Anniversary CelebrationIt’s a little known fact here on campus that SCC has a well-established Parent Education/Cooperative Preschool Program at eight sites around Shoreline and Seattle. This program offers parenting classes to nearly 500 families with young children each quarter. One of these programs, the Crystal Springs Cooperative Preschool will celebrate its 30th Anniversary with a special event on Sunday, May 23 from 1-5pm. For this event, the co-op will host a special guest, Senator Patty Murray, in addition to current families and alumni. Many years ago, both Senator Murray and President Moore served as parent educators at Crystal Springs and helped form the program into what it is today.

Despite their change from SCC parent educators to U.S. Senator and College President, both Senator Murray and President Moore continue to be strong advocates for children and families and the statewide parent education program. The current families enrolled at Crystal Springs are proud to be part of an SCC-affiliated co-op with such a rich history and that continues to serve families with young children so effectively today. Congratulations, Crystal Springs. Here’s to another 30 years!
