Multiage Preschool
(2-5 years)

Our preschool community provides a safe, loving environment for children to learn and grow — one that starts from the premise that children learn best when given the opportunity to freely engage with the world around them.

Transitional Kindergarten
(4.5-6 years)
September – June

Woodland Park Cooperative Transitional Kindergarten is an alternative offering for those who value fostering a love of learning in students, empowering them with skills to expand and explore their own questions in a truly play-based environment.

Summer Sessions
(2-7 years)
June – August

We play to learn, all summer long!

The Woodland Park summer coop provides 1 and 2 week adventures throughout the summer.

A great way to learn what Woodland Park is all about!

At Woodland Park…

Kids (and parents!) spend half of each class day outside: building, experimenting, and imagining with loose parts, paints, and hot-glue guns.

We make and create

Children collaborate and problem-solve with tires, stumps, ropes, sand, and slides; power the swings and mini merry-go-round; pump water; and dream up adventures in the playhouse and boat.

We play. A LOT

Inside and out, our play-based programs give children space to explore their interests, test boundaries, build relationships, and discover the world around them.

We build community

Our preschool is a cooperative, which means families are actively involved. Caregivers, help class teachers in the classroom once a week, share jobs that keep the school running and attend monthly caregiver education sessions led by a trained parent educator. In return, families gain a strong community, deeper insight into their child’s development, and the chance to be part of their early learning in a meaningful way. Find out more here.
