For over 70 years, we have been a second home for families seeking a warm, play-based cooperative preschool. Located in the historic heart of Garrett Park, MD, our campus is a convenient gathering place for families from North Bethesda, Kensington, Rockville, and Silver Spring. As a parent-led co-op, we don't just enroll children; we build a supportive community. Our dedicated teachers and engaged parents work together to foster each child’s social, emotional, and academic development. Through hands-on activities, creative expression, and outdoor play, children build the confidence and independence they need for kindergarten and beyond.
