Ashland Community Preschool
Ashland Community Preschool is a Montessori-based, cooperative preschool. We use the Montessori method* to provide a stimulating and enjoyable experience for two-and-a-half to five-year-olds.
Our organization is a volunteer, cooperative preschool. By enrolling your child you become a working partner and member of the Ashland Community Preschool. As a co-op, you have the chance to witness your child's preschool memories and development with your own eyes. We are licensed with the Commonwealth of Virginia and welcome children of any race, religion, nationality and ethnic origin.
We hold two class groups each week. The two-day class meets Tuesday and Thursday. The three-day class is Monday, Wednesday and Friday. An extended day option is available in the three-day class.
Class hours are 9:00AM to 1:00 PM. Extended day hours are from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.
Class sizes are limited to 16 students in the two-day class and 17 students in the three-day class.

*The Montessori method allows self-directed learning through hands-on manipulation. The classroom is arranged to encourage the children to move freely and develop at their own pace. Children are encourage to do and learn for themselves whenever possible. They can make choices in various learning areas: including practical life, sensorial, math, language and science. The children are continually gathering information and processing it as they utilize the materials in the classroom. This freedom within limits helps to develop self-discipline, independence, a respect for others and a love for learning.
