A good preschool is one that meets the educational and developmental needs of the children it serves. At CPS, children are given the opportunity to play alone and in groups. There is active play balanced by quiet activities both indoors and out. We encourage creative expression through language, movement, listening, and discussion. We also encourage children to learn through sensory experiences and play materials with different textures.
A typical school day allows time for free play such as creative work with paint, play dough, crayons, etc. There is a mixture of stories, music, science, dramatic play and group games, both indoors and out. In addition, there is a snack time with nutritious snacks and drinks.

Our goal at Community Preschool has remained constant through the years: to provide a caring and warm atmosphere for our childrens first adventure into the world of education. The schools curriculum, under the guidance of three experienced, accredited teachers, is play-based and focuses on the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development of the child. Our objectives include fostering feelings of high self-esteem and independence, while respecting the rights of the group. Through active participation, we encourage creative expression in a developmentally appropriate environment.
The program at Community Preschool is based on research in childhood development. This research tells us that young children learn differently from the way that older children and adults do. Before formal academic tasks with pencil and paper can be successful, children need to have many hands-on experiences. Learning is a complex process resulting from the interaction of childrens thinking and their direct experience in the world. A solid foundation of rich and varied experiences is crucial to all future learning.
Being a cooperative preschool, parents and teachers share the responsibilities and joys of their childs experience. Teachers are responsible for the educational program and professional standing of the school, while parents interact with the children in the classroom several times a quarter. Parent helping offers the opportunity to witness and contribute to your childs development. Parents of children enrolled in the preschool automatically become members of the corporation that runs the school.
