We are an experience-based parent cooperative preschool where caring, confident and competent life long learners and parents are nurtured and encouraged to grow emotionally, cognitively, physically, and creatively. At our school, children and parents learn alongside one another.
We believe children learn through real world hands-on play experiences and that an early childhood education program should provide ample opportunity for children to explore, create, ask questions, and take risks.We also believe that an early childhood program should enrich the whole child, including their social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.

Our History
Report
In 1973, a small group of Washington Park parents recognized the need for a quality community preschool experience for their children. They imagined a neighborhood preschool where their cooperative efforts would create a safe, nurturing environment for their children. Today, this tradition continues with our Early Learner and Preschool classes and our active parent cooperative community.

They give children freedom to take risks and learn in a safe and stimulating environment.
