Preschool in Greenbelt, MD 20770
Our purpose as a parent cooperative School is to provide an enriching educational environment for young children and their parents, one that fosters a love of learning, awareness of self and others, and a sense of accomplishment built on a child’s natural curiosity. We incorporate the knowledge and skills of parents and staff to create a child-centered environment within the multi – cultural and intergenerational Greenbelt community.
