"Toddler loved the play dough social. Cute place. Fun place for little ones."

"We love it here! (Scroll for updated review) ———————— So it’s been almost a year and I want to update my review! We still love it here. My daughter used to be SO shy, like cried when other kids talked with her kind of shy, and now she actively seeks out kids to play with at the park or wherever she is. The transformation in her personality and the amount of personal growth that has happened since starting at WMCP is absolutely mind blowing. Three year olds can be picky eaters. At least mine can. I love that the school provides a nutritious, organic lunch for her, and she is more apt to try new foods at school with all of her friends. That curiosity follows her home and she actually ate vegetables at home the other day! Huge win! I love that she gets to play outside (and oftentimes do learning activities outside too) and the Reggio-inspired teaching has been a great fit for our family. We did not want a traditional, stuck inside all day, education for our daughter and I am so happy that we found Ms Elizabeth and Ms Stephanie!"

"This place is special. The kids work together building and playing outside. My child comes home with big smiles and dusty cloths and will not stop talking about his day. The community of parents is outstanding and the teachers are equally wonderful. We have multiple children but only found this place for our third. The school is small and space is limited but the owner will help you find similar preschools if she doesn’t have room. The best part is how I believe that my 4 year old is now equipped to handle anything because the teachers help them learn how to make decisions. My youngest is now happy in groups or alone. He prefers his imagination to TV. This is a wonderful place and would recommend it for anyone trying to find that thing that is missing from other preschools."

"Our daughter has been at WMCP since she was about 18 months old. We started with one day a week, and over time added more. She's now almost 3 years old and going 3 times a week. It's been such an amazing gift to have her there. We love the environment. I was particularly drawn to the small size and community feel. The staff is so easy to connect and communicate with. They serve the children organic food, which I love. And I know there's so much hands on learning and development going on. My daughter is dirty every day I pick her up (not in a bad way haha). I would recommend WMCP to anyone who wants their kiddo to be in a loving, safe, productive space."

"My favorite things about West Marietta Cooperative Preschool are the small class sizes, the Reggio inspired practices, organic lunches, and a tremendous amount of outdoor play. My child always leaves dirty, which makes me happy because I know she's exploring the world and creating art projects daily. WMCP is by far the best investment I've made for my child's early education. Highly recommend."
