LEARN ABOUT THE CO-OP EXPERIENCE
Welcome to Wilde Lake Children's NurseryColumbia's First Co-operative PreschoolLicensedWe are licensed by the Maryland State Department of Education, and we follow the learning principles and early childhood development practices of the Howard County Pre-Kindergarten Curriculum.
Learning Through PlayWe believe that play is fundamental to a child’s education experience. We offer a variety of free play experiences and teacher-directed activities.
Co-operativeMothers, fathers, grandparents, and other adult caregivers are welcome as co-op helper.  Your child will be thrilled to be the “co-op friend”.
Allergy-FriendlyWe are a nut-free school. If a child has additional allergies, those foods are not served to any children of that class. Hands and mouths are wiped upon entering the classroom.
Small ClassesWith one of the smallest class sizes for co-ops in Howard County, your child receives individual attention and is able to progress at his or her own pace.
Approved CirriculumWe use the Little Treasures curriculum in our four-year-old class.  This is one of six curriculum packages approved by the State of Maryland.  In the two-year-old and three-year-old classes, we follow the principles of the Howard County Pre-Kindergarten Curriculum.
Our ProgramsClasses for 2, 3, and 4 year olds Through a wide variety of "learning through play" activities, we expose children to language arts, music, mathematics, social development, and science. Each child’s progress in all areas — social and emotional skills, language arts, math, problem-solving skills, and physical development — is communicated to parents at regularly scheduled conferences as well as on an informal basis.
