Magothy Cooperative Preschool

• Magothy Cooperative Preschool has been operating since 1974 as a non-profit, parent operated cooperative preschool.
• The classroom and grounds are located adjacent to the historic site of the oldest Methodist Church in Maryland.
• The preschool is certified through the Maryland Department of Education as a non-public school and as an early childhood development center.
• Magothy Cooperative Preschool is a certified Maryland Green School through MAEOE. Magothy Cooperative Preschool seeks to provide our students a stimulating child-directed environment that encourages creativity, curiosity, self-expression & socialization. The result is a nurtured well-rounded and independent child who has enthusiasm for learning and a positive attitude towards themselves and the world around them.
• We integrate environmental education into all of our subjects and promote interaction with the natural world as part of our curriculum and operation.
• A preschool program is your child`s first step into the academic world. Our school is an excellent bridge between home and elementary school since your child is learning with their parents` involvement. Subsequently, the cooperative is an excellent way to overcome separation anxiety for both the child and parent. Your child will have the opportunity to express themselves through art, music and academics as they explore our two spacious classrooms with various independent learning centers. As a cooperative school, parents work with the teacher and teacher assistant, guiding their children, watching them grow socially and academically. By helping in the classroom, our parents know their child is getting the best of both worlds-family and school. Students at Magothy Cooperative Preschool benefit from caring, like-minded parents, who share in their learning and growth. With such an important common cause, the adults form lifelong friendships right along side their children. Leaders are made here of both children and parents. Magothy Cooperative offers two year old, two/three year old, three year old, three/four year old and PreK classes.

• School Motto: Rooted in Play. Inspired by Nature.

Our school is proud to have a great student to teacher ratio with a Teacher, a Teacher Assistant and a Helping Parent in every classroom. All classes are under 16 children. Magothy Cooperative Preschool has Four Spaces for Learning: our Inspiration & Reflection Room, Imagination & Creation Room, the Outdoor CLassroom, and the Music & Movement Room. Our children rotate through the rooms and use Discovery Time to explore our many Learning Centers. Magothy Cooperative Preschool is an official Music Together school. We also offer extracurricular activities including monthly enrichment trips that reinforce and build upon our themes and experiences, as well as many social events and guest speakers.
