Linda Beach Co-op Pre School

History

Linda Beach is a small, play-based, cooperative preschool nestled in the center of Piedmont. Founded on the belief that children learn best in an environment rich with age-appropriate stimuli and caring adults, the school's success is due to the warmth and enthusiasm provided by exceptional teachers working directly with parents eager to share in the development and education of their children.

Specialties

Linda Beach preschool & pre-K (3-year-olds: Tu/Th 9-12; 4-year-olds: M/W/F 9-12; 4.5-5-year-olds: M-Th 12:30-3:30) offers a traditional preschool approach, which emphasizes the development of each child through independent and group play activities, with care given to gently guide the children toward kindergarten readiness. A nurturing atmosphere also promotes social development, allowing children to expand their awareness of themselves and others. As they progress through the program, play activities are structured to encourage the children to sit and listen for longer periods of time, follow increasingly complex instructions, and express themselves clearly.
