How you can help >>>

 For over 50 years, the home of the Garrett Park Nursery School has been the Garrett Park Estates Recreation Center (also known as the Garrett Park Community Center).  The building has a rich history.  It is owned by the Montgomery County Department of Parks but was built, in large measure, by the townspeople of Garrett Park.  They raised the money and provided much of the labor for the original Community Center.  Later, the building was expanded to house the Garrett Park Library which became one of the founding libraries of the Montgomery County Public Library system.   

We love our home.  Its rich history, spacious classrooms, and large playground make it an ideal home for our Nursery School.  The Department of Parks has expressed an interest in no longer being responsible for the Garrett Park Estates Recreation Center.  So, we are currently negotiating with the Town of Garrett Park and the Department of Parks to work out a long-term arrangement to ensure that the school will be able to continue its operations out of the Garrett Park Community Center.  If we are unsuccessful in these efforts, the Nursery School will make arrangements to continue operations from another facility.  However, we are confident that the Garrett Park Community Center will continue to be our home for many years to come. 

For 2010-2011 School Year, we will be at our temporary location at Ken-Gar Palisades Park during our renovations and the modernization of the adjacent Garrett Park Elementary School.
