Inman Park Cooperative Preschool

We had heard from friends in the area that IPCP was a terrific school and that everyone was super happy about their children's experience there. Our oldest child has been attending for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier with the school. One of the best aspects of the school is that you get to be involved with so many aspects of what your child experiences on a daily basis. The teachers are really great and we can't recommend the school highly enough.

IPCP provides exactly what every young child needs; a chance to have fun and be a kid in a stimulating and educational environment. One of the biggest draws for us was the fact that half of their day is spent outside, in the outdoor playground and the spacious outdoor classroom. Our 3.5 year-old settled in immediately, and has so much fun each day, she usually asks if she can keep playing a bit longer with her new friends when it’s time to go home. All of the staff is wonderful, and we really love the cooperative aspect, giving my wife and I a chance to get involved and be a part of our child’s preschool experience. IPCP is by far the best preschool our family has ever been a part of.

IPCP has been just what our kiddos and family needed for an early childhood learning experience. We have become part of a great community of local families and our kiddos have been immersed in a caring, play-based learning, outdoor environment. The teachers and staff deeply care for our children, and we couldn’t be happier. The Conscious Discipline approach the school lives by has helped our kiddos, and us as parents, tremendously- we all have skills we didn’t have before that will serve us well as we march forward in life!

My daughter has attended IPCP for 2 years now. Her social and emotional development over this period has been a joy to watch. As a cooperative, I love the opportunity parents have to work together in shaping the culture and direction of the school. If you’re looking for a community-based preschool that provides and encourages parent engagement and involvement, I highly recommend putting IPCP on your shortlist.

Our daughter has been at IPCP for two years. The nature-base curriculum helps her safely explore and grow -- we've even made a mud kitchen, a pallet house, and veg patches at home because she loves them so much. It's the perfect place for our conscious discipline family, and the school provides workshops and parent communities to help with conscious discipline training. The teachers are creative, nurturing, and attentive. The co-op program offers opportunities for parents to be involved in curriculum and fund development, buildings and grounds improvements, and events planning. Parent helper days rock! It's such a treat to get to spend time with her in the outdoor classroom and watch her interact with her friends. I can't imagine a better place for her to spend her preschool years.
