Save cooperative preschools, save the exemption
 

The exemption for cooperative preschools need to stay in place. For many families this is the only way they can afford a preschool. In addition, the involvement of parents in the education of their young children is extremely important. Doing away with this exemption would force some cooperative preschools to close their doors and would make others too expensive for many families. If you care at all about the safety and education of young children, please protect the exemption.

I sent 4 of my children to Hunters Woods Preschool in Reston and those years were full of happy memories for each child. The cooperative environment is extremely positive for both the children and the parents. Parents get enough training and education already--they don't need more.
