The daily rhythm starts with families arriving at 8:30am, to then set the tone of the day with worship and announcements at 9am. Students then rotate between classes for three sessions, one hour a piece, until dismissal at 12:30pm.

While each semester’s offerings vary, the heart remains the same: students grow in confidence, character, and belonging within a Christ-centered environment.

Our co-op is not a drop-off program. It is a co-op model built on partnership. Each parent teaches one session, assists one session, and rests during one session.

Our co-op meets on Tuesdays each week, except for the last week of each month.

Family Arrival: 8:30am- 9:00am

Family Departure: 12:30pm

*Co-op field trips occur on the last week of each month in lieu of regular class day.

Our co-op thrives because families participate. Parents serve in various capacities each semester—assisting in classrooms, leading classes, helping with bringing parent lounge treats, community prayer, cleaning, or supporting community rhythms. We do not expect perfection, but we do expect engagement. Shared responsibility strengthens both the learning environment and the relationships that make Cedars Co-op flourish.

Cedars co-op offers classes for Nursery through 12th grade.

Students are grouped by age range to encourage developmentally appropriate learning while also allowing space for mentorship and multi-age connection within the broader community.

Nursery and toddler siblings may attend at no charge when they have a sibling enrolled in a paid class, provided both children reside in the same household.

Parents of nursery and toddler children (birth through age 2) will be asked to have their sweet littles dropped off in their designated classroom prior to worship and announcements. This allows parents the margin to settle older children into their classrooms and prepare for the rhythm of  the co-op day without distraction.

After 9:00 AM, nursery and toddler children will remain in their assigned classroom for the entirety of all three class sessions. Parents will be asked to pick up their younger children directly from the nursery classroom at 12:30 PM dismissal.

The nursery and toddler room is designed to provide a consistent, nurturing environment for our youngest participants. While this is not an academic or paid for classroom, it is intentional.

Children in this room will experience:

• A time of worship through music and movement
• A daily craft or hands-on sensory activity
• Intentional supervised play

Our desire is not to accelerate academics at this age, but to cultivate joy, security, and early exposure to community in a Christ-centered atmosphere.

Payment is $60 per child, per semester.

*Siblings of enrolled students within the same household under the age of 3 are free of cost.

Fall semester payments are due August 1st.

Spring semester payments are due February 1st.

Field trip costs, if required by the location, are to be paid by parents on site.

Any additional class material costs will be clearly listed on the class descriptions at time of registration.

We expect to meet each parent where they are at. The standard expectation is that a parent is asking to teach one session, aide one session, and rest a session. With that being said, iif a parent is new to homeschool and/or wanting to become enmeshed to the community first in order to feel comfortable, then there is absolutely accommodations to them.

Some accommodations that have been made in the past have been:

• Asking parents to aide in two sessions until they feel comfortable teaching a session.

• An active nursing mother may want to be in the nursery for every session and/or a specific session when nursing is needed per their child and/or schedule.

If you feel you may need an accommodation, please feel free to voice that when completing the registration form. There is a place that asks parents what they may want to teach. Parents can enter that information in that section.
