Overlook Collaborative Preschool

Overlook Collaborative Preschool is like family to us. We discovered OCP in 2009 when I knew we needed a place for our precocious 2-​year old to interact with peers on a regular basis. She spent a full three years at OCP being nurtured and encouraged by preschool owners Erin and Darin and other teachers, including visiting music teachers about once a week. Through those years our daughter learned critical life skills such as confidence, compassion, and a love of learning. Her curious nature was encouraged through the Reggio-​inspired approach to teaching, and she also exceeded the academic standards for Kindergarten when that time came.
Our younger daughter is now in her third and final year at OCP and thriving as well. OCP is truly a community preschool experience. We feel so fortunate and blessed to have found OCP and to have Erin, Darin, and all fo the OCP families in our lives!

This school is amazing! My son loves going there so much, it is so welcoming and sweet. All the kids are so well behaved and nice to each other, the teachers are so loving and calm and the whole space is design so the kids feel confident to do things by themselves. We feel so lucky to be part of this community!

Our daughter started at Overlook Collaborative Preschool this fall and she wakes up in the morning so excited about going to school. I toured a number of schools before deciding on OCP. The facility is so warm and welcoming. We love the daily journals with pictures and stories emailed to us each day. We are able to ask our daughter about specific things from her day, and carry the things she is learning at school into the home. She has gotten very excited about writing and drawing and in just a few months shows really amazing improvement in both. But most importantly it feels like her learning community is a second home for her, she is always talking about her friends and teachers, even asks me to send photos of things she loves to Erin and Sarah. It is such a wonderful community to be a part of, we can’t wait for her little sister to be able to go to school as well!
