We are proud to offer 2, 3, and 4-day preschool programs for children ages 2 to 5 years old. Spring-Mar is the perfect combination of loving and talented teachers, beautiful grounds and a creative, interactive play-based curriculum. But the best part of the school is the overwhelming sense of community within the school.
When you enroll your child at Spring-Mar, you will also build friendships with families that will last well beyond preschool. You are able to get to know the students and their families at such a personal way as a teacher's assistant and watching your own child and their friends grow and develop is such a rewarding and unique experience.

History and Philosophy
Report
In 1963, several families came together to form a cooperative school for the purpose of providing a quality preschool and kindergarten experience for their children. This year marks our 56th year in operation as a non-profit, parent-owned, and parent-operated preschool! We are thankful to the many men and women who have worked hard through the years to keep this school an exciting place for young children to grow and learn.
Co-op 101
Report
A cooperative preschool is fully operated by a community made up of parents, teachers, and staff. Parents support the school by helping in the classroom and applying their individual talents toward assigned committees. At Spring-Mar, a parent is in every classroom, every day, assisting teachers to help students acquire valuable tools that will make them great learners in elementary school and beyond.
Curriculum
Report
Spring-Mar's curriculum is based upon our "learning through play" philosophy. Our goals are set to help enhance self-esteem and the cognitive and emotional growth of our children. Our environment fosters curiosity, language opportunities, creativity and socialization. Our students discover and learn through first-hand experiences that stress process over product because children learn best through the environment, not through direct instruction.
Panda Club
Report
Panda Club is an after school program designed especially for our Navigators (3 and 4-year olds) and Inventors A (Pre-K) classes! Panda Club runs on select days each month from 12:15 pm until 1:15 p.m. and allows our older students to stay after school with a teacher or teachers, eat a packed lunch with their friends, and participate in a special enrichment activity.
