Perry Hall Children's Center

Perry Hall Childrens Center is a co-op pre-school located in Perry Hall, MD, close to the intersection of Belair Road, and Chapel Rd. We are conveniently located within 5 miles of 695.

Perry Hall Childrens Center was founded by a group of parents who recognized the importance of parental involvement in the education of young children. We are located at Saint Michaels Lutheran Church. Since 1972 we have served families who had a special desire to share in their childs first school experience. We believe the efforts, individual talents , and the direct involvement of the parents during the school day make for a unique educational endeavor. Because we are a cooperative preschool, the administrative responsibilities of the school belong to the Board of Directors.

The mission of the Perry Hall Childrens Center is to provide a place where children may grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, creatively, physically, mentally and socially through organized activities as directed by the teachers. The school has developmentally appropriate programs in a nurturing, loving, safe and stimulating environment, in which parental involvement enriches the learning process.
