When to Reach Out

The center's page notes upcoming openings, so if you are considering enrollment, contacting them early is worthwhile. The site points to a page covering current openings, waitlists, and enrollment — asking about all three in one email saves a round trip.

Hours are Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., so a weekday phone call during that window is the most reliable way to reach someone directly.

What to Include in Your Email

A short message to [email protected] that covers the basics gets you a faster, more useful reply:

  • Your child's age (this determines the classroom — see below)
  • Whether you want part-time (2–4 days a week) or full-time (5 days a week)
  • Your preferred start timing
  • Whether you'd like to schedule a tour

Which Classroom Your Child Would Join

Age determines placement, and each room has a different child-to-teacher ratio — useful context when you ask about openings:

Classroom Ages Child-to-teacher ratio
Sun Room 1–2.5 years 5 to 1
Star Room 2–3.5 years 6 to 1
Moon/Comet Room 3–5 years 8 to 1

Getting There

The center sits in the heart of the University District at 5315 Roosevelt Way NE, just north of the Seattle Public Library's University Branch. It is described as bike and bus accessible, which matters if you plan to visit before committing to a commute.

A Note on the Cooperative Model

Cooperative Children's Center is a private, parent-owned, non-profit full-day preschool, and parents play a major role in the program and classroom. If that structure is part of why you're interested, it's worth asking about parent participation expectations in the same email — it affects your weekly time commitment, not just your child's schedule.
