What sets us apart: 

• Our three-room schoolhouse is located in a beautiful pastoral setting with ample space for indoor and outdoor activity, and unique opportunities for nature exploration and learning. Weather permitting, children can spend most of the day outdoors every day.

• We are a cooperative preschool. Parents gain a better understanding of the preschool child through participating ("co-oping") in the classroom about once a month, more or less, depending on a family's needs and unique situation.  Other community-building efforts include committee opportunities, fundraising events, clean-up parties, and parent meetings. 

• We offer a multiage program for ages 3, 4 and 5. Children need to be 2 years 9 months by August 31 (3 years by December 31) of the year for which they are applying.  Mixed age groups provide a range of benefits for young children, including improved social skills, enhanced language development, increased opportunities for leadership, and complex play scenarios. 

• The school is a nut-free environment, and we are particularly sensitive to food and environmental allergies as well as other health concerns.
