"Having a membership to PCPC makes me feel like there is always someone in my corner, someone I can reach out too who understands just how unique cooperatives are."
Supervisor, Manor Road Co-operative Nursery School
(long standing PCPC member centre)
"We have found the information, resources and, in particular, the access to Adele and her expertise, invaluable. With regulations changing and now the very manner in which we operate under the federal CWELCC program changing, PCPC will continue to bring value to our nursery school. By combining and sharing all of the experiences and best practices of the membership, we can all elevate the level of service delivery to our little charges. "
Board Member, Minnow Lake Co-operative Preschool

"PCPC provides a vital support network to co-operatives sharing a wealth of experience and resources. Our boards can rotate every 1-3 years, so the support consistency should be a staple for any co-operative based preschool."
Board Member, Awesome Beginnings Co-operative School
(PCPC member since 2019)
"We have been very thankful to be apart of PCPC. As a co-operative preschool it is challenging to find the right guidance and documentation applicable to our operation. It is also challenging to find other centres to connect with since not many in our area operate as a co-op. PCPC has provided a direct link to documentation, offers guidance specific to our setup, answers questions, suggests resources and provides connection with other centres. The connection piece is key as we learn so much from others experiences and often run into the square peg, round hole scenario when connecting with local non-co-op daycares as well as our City's requirements. Having the PCPC resource has been very helpful."
Board Member, St. George Co-operative Preschool

"PCPC is a phenomenal support for nursery schools. The countless resources online and Adele’s one on one support are always greatly appreciated. It has also proven to be a great way to network with other nursery schools to learn from each other. Our school would not have survived the COVID years without PCPC. I can’t recommend this organization enough".

“Our board has had multiple calls/meetings with Adele. She has helped us immensely with restructuring our board and staffing in the last 2 years. Adele is full of knowledge and first hand experience. She is easy to connect with and bounce ideas off of. Speaking with Adele is like getting great advice from a friend.”
