Washington Park Early Learning Center

Washington Park Early Learning Center is a parent cooperative preschool that nurtures kindness, encourages curiosity, and celebrates diversity in a play-based environment. Our teachers respect, support, and encourage each child’s style and pace of learning. This fosters their self-esteem, individuality, and creativity. Students develop a love of learning and the courage to question and explore through opportunities to create, solve problems, and advocate for diverse solutions. At WPELC, we emphasize the process of an activity, rather than the product.

"Teaching is not telling; teaching is guided discovery."
