Our goals for children are:

• that they be willing to ask questions, take risks, and practice self-control.

Our setting offers widespread opportunities for children to develop and enhance their social, physical, and intellectual skills in an environment that cultivates both individual awareness and respect for the rights of others.

Kilmacowen Community Preschool & Playgroup was intentionally established as a Parent Cooperative to encourage parents to observe and participate in the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of their children.
