A family that trains together, stays together.
At Grace Cooperative Preschool, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and engaging learning environment for young children. As a parent-participation preschool, we believe that parents play a vital role in their child's education, and we offer a unique opportunity for parents to be an active part of their child's educational journey.
Who We Are
Established in 1971, Grace Cooperative Preschool is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization located in Walnut Creek, California. We are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and licensed by the California State Department of Social Services. We are proud to have a team of experienced and dedicated teachers and staff who are committed to providing a comprehensive early childhood education.
Our Philosophy
At Grace Cooperative Preschool, we believe that children learn and grow best when they are given the opportunity to explore and discover the world around them. We follow a philosophy that centers on the idea that children's learning occurs in the process of their experiences, including their interactions with the teacher, other children, parents, and the materials and equipment at school. Our curriculum is designed to provide children with enriched experiences that promote their physical, social, and cognitive development.

Tuition and Enrollment
At Grace Cooperative Preschool, we believe that tuition should be affordable and accessible to families. As a cooperative preschool, our parents play an active role in the school, and in return, they pay a reduced tuition. We offer a sliding scale tuition program, which ensures that every family has access to our high-quality early childhood education.
