Our Mission
Our mission is to meet the needs of a diverse community by providing a safe, play-centered cooperative preschool where parents, guardians, and children learn and grow together.
Play
With plenty of time for unstructured play, children learn immeasurable micro-skills such as socialization, communication, cooperation, and self-advocacy.
Explore
Space to explore and room to run and play. Our forest environment allows kids room to explore the natural world and become stewards of the land.
Create
We use the natural world to create, learn, and grow. Children are encouraged to make art using traditional art supplies and materials as well as natural, found objects.

Community Closet Donations
GRCP is looking for hand-me-down gear. We believe the outdoors should be available and accessible to all. With our gear donations and our scholarship program, we can continue to offer quality outdoor experiences to all who wish to join us.
