Welcome to Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool

Our school was founded with the goal of creating an ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse community that is united both through its commitment to parental involvement in education, as well as fostering a respect for the environment.

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, the Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool (OCP) currently offers morning classes five days a week for children two to four years in the Metro Atlanta area. Our diverse student body has close ties with many intown Atlanta neighborhoods, such as Candler Park, Lake Claire, Druid Hills, Inman Park, East Lake, Kirkwood, as well as Decatur Georgia, including the neighborhoods of Oakhurst and Winnona Park.

The Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool (OCP) is a non-profit, parent cooperative overseen by a board of parent volunteers. A cooperative preschool such as OCP is a private entity operated by its members – the parents of the students – and staffed by professional teachers. Co-ops recognize that parents are the primary educators of their children. Parents are actively involved in virtually every aspect of the school, sharing their talents and interests in the classroom, on the Board of Directors, and various committees. Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool’s program creates a special community that gives parents and children the opportunity to learn, communicate, play and grow together.

So what does a green preschool look like?
Just like Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool!

We are one of the few preschools emphasizing environmental education in its curriculum. While many private and public kindergarten classes are 
beginning to introduce environmental awareness into their curriculum, few start earlier; preschoolers are not commonly thought of as an easy age group to start teaching the
importance of taking care of their planet.

But we do just that, by introducing environmental education to young children in a way that engages them, intrigues them, and creates an empathy and respect for all living things and their habitats. We hope to provide even our youngest children not only with a gentle awareness of their impact on the world around them, but also an understanding of how they can make a positive difference.
