Alpha Bet School was established in 1967 by a group of co-op members. Today, the non-denominational, cooperative, not-for-profit preschool continues to allow parents to be involved in their child's education. The schoool's staff consists of experienced teachers and parents, who assist in establishing and meeting desired learning goals throughout the school year. Parent involvement also allows the tuition to be kept low. In 1993, Alpha Bet became licensed through the state of Virginia.
