CCR’s John Fogerty recalls ECPC

October 20, 2015

Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty recalls happy memories of growing up in El Cerrito in his new autobiography, according to the Contra Costa Times — including of our own El Cerrito Preschool Cooperative.

“My mother, Lucile, was a teacher at a nursery school about half a mile from our home, down a dirt road,” Fogerty writes. “I remember walking there a few times when I was 4 or 5 years old. By myself. That’s how innocent our town — El Cerrito, California — was then.” (The nursery school is El Cerrito Preschool Cooperative.)

–“El Cerrito a source of fond memories, Fogerty writes in autobiography,” Contra Costa Times, 10/14/2015

See the full article.

ECPC has been operating as a parent cooperative in El Cerrito for 75 years.

ECPC at Solano Stroll

September 18, 2015

ECPC turned out in force for the Solano Stroll last weekend. A crowd of families paraded under the theme Purple Enchanted Garden, creating a sea of purple that showcased our wonderful community as well as ECPC’s artistic side.

A group of parents and kids came together ahead of time to create decorations based on our parade theme.

What a fun family weekend — thanks to everyone who made it happen!

Layers of paint reveal 75 years of co-op life

June 1, 2015

For nearly 75 years, the El Cerrito Preschool Cooperative has supported Bay Area children and families with play, learning and community. The layers of paint on our teachers’ chair are a testament to the generations of preschoolers (and parents!) who have grown on our grounds. For years, children have shared their news in this chair and been lifted in celebration on their birthdays, and parents and teachers have rested, taught and nurtured from it.

Kids learn about veterinary medicine

May 31, 2015

Our kids got to learn about veterinary medicine recently when ECPC parent Matt visited to talk about his work. Matt showed the kids x-rays of animals, including before and after pictures of a cat’s broken leg, along with model hearts, bones and joints.

Then, the kids got to practice a little medicine of their own when Matt showed them how to put bandages on stuffed animals. Thanks, Dr. Matt!
