Nurturing the Whole Family

At Pied Piper Preschool, children ages 2.5 through six learn through play in a warm, supportive community. We believe the best Early Childhood Education happens when teachers and families work and play together, which is why Pied Piper is a cooperative, parent-participation preschool.

Our Teachers

Experienced Teachers Who Know Your Child

​​

As parents, we know how important it is to feel confident in the adults caring for your child. Our teachers are highly trained Early Childhood Educators who create a safe, nurturing, and engaging classroom environment. They adapt their approach to the needs of the child in front of them.

In our co-op model, teachers work closely with families so each child is truly known and supported.

 

Because families are intimately involved, children benefit from:

​

• Small adult-to-child ratios

• Consistent, familiar adults

• A steady, caring environment that supports emotional regulation and growth

• Being fully loved and appreciated for their whole unique selves and experiences

Our Curriculum

Learning Through Play and Exploration

​

At Pied Piper Preschool, we believe in the power of play to shape confident and excited learners. Our developmentally-appropriate curriculum extends both indoors and outdoors, providing a wonderful environment for academic and social emotional growth. Through hands-on, playful activities, children explore early math, science, and language skills while developing problem-solving abilities and nurturing their natural curiosity.

Our Preschool​

A Community, Not Just a Classroom

​

We believe every child is unique, and that learning happens best in relationship. At Pied Piper Preschool, families are active participants in the classroom, building strong connections with their children, teachers, and one another.

​

Children find their rhythm here as they learn to trust themselves and explore their curious minds. Parents find real community too, with connections that continue long after the preschool years.

New to Co-Op Preschools?

We’ve been there. Many of us came to Pied Piper as first-time preschool parents ourselves. Our co-op preschool supports both children and parents, offering training and guidance so parents grow confident in the classroom while becoming part of a community that shares the joys and challenges of parenting.

​

In fact, all of our staff are former Pied Piper parents, and many current parents are alumni families who chose to return because of the experience they had here as children.
