History of My School Cooperative

My School was started in 1982 by a core of six individuals who got their primary inspiration from Time for Play Nursery School located in Runnymede Public School. Their search for space ended when the Toronto Board of Education not only offered to rent them space at Garden Avenue School, but also offered a start-up grant of $2,000.

As neighbourhood schools needed to maximize their space to meet enrollment demands, My School was compelled to move twice in its early years: from Garden Public School to Howard Public School in 1990, and then from Howard in 1997 to our long-time home in St. Vincent de Paul Separate School where we remain today.  At St. Vincent de Paul, we enjoy the use of one large, sunny playroom and of the gated kindergarten playground.

The history of My School illustrates the flexible nature of the school’s co-operative structure. Members have a direct say in the administration of the school and important decisions may be made easily if a majority of members support certain changes.

What Our Parents Are Saying

"It has been our third year with My School as a family and parting will be hard. Pauline and Susan are wonderful teachers and thanks to them (and those warm hugs from Mariana!) our children are growing to be curious and confident little people. It is hard to describe why My School is such a parenting highlight but, oh well, I just cannot imagine giving those tiny ones a better start. I have often had the impression that the teachers know my children better than I do. And the wonderful program, the crafts, numerous activities to nurture the interests of literally each little one. I learned a lot and I think that bonded with my children more. Finally the numbers: for the maximum of 24 or 25 children, there is six fully engaged adults. You can't beat that!" read more testimonials
