Many of the necessary skills for life are developed through play.
In a play-based curriculum, children can develop their cognitive, symbolic, problem-solving, mathematical, reading, writing, social and emotional skills at their own pace without academic pressure.
What will your child learn from some of our regular activities?
The most important goal of an early childhood education is to help your child develop a positive self-image through love and guidance. At Catonsville Cooperative School, mutual acceptance and celebration of our differences is encouraged!
Our philosophy is that children learn best through play.
We provide a rich variety of play materials, same-age playmates, and a curriculum based on children’s intellectual, social, and emotional needs.
Based on more than 60 years of experience, we know that with us your child will learn to use his or her body effectively, to cope with feelings, to get along with others, to solve problems, and to satisfy his or her curiosity. Discovering the mysteries of letters and numbers is just one part of our fun and relaxed atmosphere!
