We absolutely love Geist Orchard Cooperative Preschool. The play-based, child-led approach to learning, incredibly supportive, intelligent and thoughtful teachers, and the warm, familial quality of the co-op experience have all made a world of difference for our son. We followed this preschool through a recent move to a new location and have had an excellent experience in the new facility. The kiddos love the new space, and I find the new location convenient to access. Our teachers, Ms. Jarah and Ms. Sara, are phenomenal. We could not be more pleased to have had them be our child's first exposure to school life. Our child has learned so much from both them, and from his classmates. I highly recommend Geist Orchard Cooperative Preschool to anyone seeking a more involved experience during the preschool years. You won't regret it!

When I began to look for a preschool for my daughter, I didn't know what a co-op preschool was. I am so happy I took the time to learn about Geist Orchard Cooperative Preschool. It is a perfect fit for our family. Being a stay at home mom, I was worried about transitioning to time away from me. My daughter had always been clingy, and as a pandemic baby, really never spent time away from me. The transition was better than I ever could have hoped for! The ability to be in the classroom helped immensely as did having the familiar faces of the other moms. My daughter became comfortable in the classroom, even on days I'm not there, very quickly! The teachers are amazing, and the other families are so welcoming and caring for all the children. We found the right preschool for us!

We cannot say enough about how much we have loved our experience at Geist Orchard! After our initial tour, my husband said, "This feels like an extension of our home" and it has felt that way for the duration of our time there. The teachers are so kind and you can see they genuinely love spending time with their students. They have a wealth of knowledge surrounding early childhood education and integrate outdoor play and exploration into their curriculum and daily plan which was important to our family. The play-based curriculum and welcoming environment has given my daughter the opportunity to lead her learning and grow socially, emotionally, and academically. We can't wait for our other daughter to be old enough to attend!

This preschool is great! The teachers are wonderful and its been a fun to watch my son learn through play!
