Hawthorne Family Playschool

Welcome

There is a shortage of space in neighborhood co-operative preschools. Many families are driving long distances to take their child to a quality preschool program. The necessity for a local alternative was clear to several neighborhood families we needed to create our own preschool here in the inner SE. The preschool will serve the neighborhoods of Sunnyside and Richmond allowing parents to walk or use public transit to reach a central location. Two meetings were held during July and three more are scheduled for August to share the idea with the community.

Co-operative preschools allow parents to participate actively in their child's early education alongside a professional educator. Our vision is families coming together to make a school where your child would find:

Mixed ages
Lots of playtime
Art & music
Nature activities
Gentle guidance from caring adults
Diverse families
