A different kind of preschool.
Most preschools ask you to drop off and trust the process. WCP asks you to be part of it. That changes everything about how your child experiences school and how your family experiences this season of life.
Play-Based Learning
Every day is built around exploration and creativity. Children learn through doing, not sitting. Our teachers design sessions that feel like fun and work like school.
A Real Co-op Community
Parents are owners here, not observers. You help in the classroom, shape school decisions, and build real friendships with the families alongside you.
Experienced Teachers
Our teachers are certified early childhood professionals who know every child by name. They create classrooms where kids feel safe, seen, and excited to show up.
Genuinely Affordable
The co-op model keeps costs low without cutting corners. Tuition starts at $70 a month — because great early education should be accessible to every family.
More than a preschool.
A community that grows with you.
WCP is a cooperative preschool, which means parents are active members of the school, not just drop-off participants. You help in the classroom, hold a co-op role, and get a front-row seat to your child's first school experiences.
The co-op model keeps tuition low, class sizes small, and the parent community tight. Families who find us tend to say the same thing: I wish we found this place sooner.
