COMMUNITY

Local connections, strong ties

At Catonsville Co-op, community is one of our core values.

It starts right at the school. Families, teachers, and alumni connect together, creating the special network that makes the Co-op unique among other preschools. Learn about the traditions, field trips, clubs, and other events that make our Co-op community amazing — and bring families back for generations.

And we connect outwards, too, building local partnerships in our local community in Catonsville, MD. We have ties through local businesses through fundraisers, field trips, and partnerships (shout out to Gene’s Greens for the local, seasonal produce for snack time). 

We believe building community both strengthens our school and teaches children the value of building something bigger than themselves.
