Sherman Oaks Co-op provides a developmentally appropriate program individualized to each child’s needs. Our program promotes social, emotional, language, intellectual, and physical development within an early childhood environment. We emphasize positive communication and the use of problem solving tools. Our goal is to build a foundation to support social and intellectual competence both at school and at home.
