At Loomis Community Preschool, children's natural curiosity, creativity, and confidence is nurtured and enhanced through a wide-range of hands-on, play-based activities and experiences. As a welcoming community of teachers, parents, and children, we work hand-in-hand to provide a safe, caring environment that encourages the development of the whole child and fosters cooperation, communication, and respect.
Choosing a co-op preschool is a decision that requires time, energy, and commitment; however, the rewards are well worth the effort. The meaningful experiences and memories that you and your child share at LCP will last a lifetime!

LCP is a parent cooperative preschool where you, as the parent, are an "assistant teacher." With the guidance of our experienced and caring teachers, you will assist with classroom activities, circle time, and outside play. As a volunteer in your child's class, you are a vital member of our school community.

Also known as a "co-op" or cooperative preschool, a parent participation preschool relies on an active partnership among parents, teachers, and children. Parents work as teacher assistants under the direction of a professional director/teacher. Parents also assume many responsibilities in the administration of the school.
Young children are very busy learning how the world works. They are natural learners! Through play, children develop social and learning skills that build a foundation for academic learning later in life. Circle Time: All the children gather around to learn together with the use of song, instruments, stories, and finger plays.

I LOVE this school. Our toddler was able to connect with his teacher and the kids. He is was an only child, so this was great socialization for him. He got to PLAY and learn at the same time. We as parents were also taught how to be with our kids so that they learn how to share and participate in art, science, and other amazing activities. He always came home singing songs and couldn't wait to go back next week. We are looking forward to the following year. Even with the COVID outbreaks, the school handled the safety of our children perfectly!

Pinch me!!!! Did I really find a preschool this amazing?! Yes I did! I can't express how much my family loves this school!!! I'm a very dedicated mommy and wanted a preschool that offered a free play curriculum, but also provided some structure. LCP does a beautiful job blending both ideals. The children have VARIOUS choices every single day, but also participate in 2 circle times that each present different types of activities and listening opportunities. The children learn the months of the year, read books, sing songs and are encouraged to share about themselves and their families

An amazing place to learn and grow in the early years! We have been more than happy with this preschool. The community of parents and teachers have made it a wonderful place to learn. The Harvest Festival, Holiday Store, and Spring Celebration just add to the amazing place this is. I highly recommend Loomis Community Preschool to all children ages 2-5.

My brother and I attended as children and have nothing but fond memories of our experience, teachers, and lifelong friends from Loomis Community Nursery School (as it was formerly named). After living out of the area for several years, we moved back last fall with a preschool-aged child. Naturally, this was the first place we checked out, after looking at many schools elsewhere before moving, and we never looked back. The play based environment allows children to explore the world around them and learn from it at their own place, while the teachers are experienced, supportive, and creative. The

This is an amazing and special school. My youngest daughter has attended Loomis Community Preschool for the past year, and she has loved her experience. Prior to this school, my daughter attended a different preschool. We changed schools when we found out she was being bullied due to lack of supervision. Upon starting at Loomis Community Preschool, we saw a drastic and immediate change in our daughter. She became excited about going to school, and her personality started to shine though. At her previous school, she seldom talked. At Loomis, she has become an absolute chatterbox! Our daughter

My oldest daughter attended this school and it was an amazing experience. The activities that they do are so creative and thought provoking for little minds and you can see how much thought and planning goes into their play based learning approach. Our little one will be going there next year, we love LCP!

I couldn't recommend Loomis Community Preschool more highly! My siblings and I attended this preschool as kids, and so far, two of us have returned with our own children. The teachers are amazing, and the play-based learning model is perfect for little ones who are ready to start exploring the world. One of the best parts of Loomis Community Preschool for me, is the community that comes along with it. I love that my children attend a school where every parent is 100% committed to making their preschool experience wonderful!

I knew the first day we visited LCP that it was the place for us. My son loves his school-- his teacher, the activities, everything (well, except washing his hands--ha!). In the year and a half he's attended, he has learned so much and been exposed to so many concepts and experiences that I would never have imagined, let alone implemented on my own. Not only that but his social skills have improved dramatically (kind of a big deal since he's an only child). I have also learned many strategies to employ when dealing with the conflicts that are bound to crop up with preschoolers; working in the classroom

I cannot imagine a better place to send my children to preschool. LCP is filled with creativity, fun, acceptance, growth, innovation, and LEARNING. True child-directed, never-forgotten learning. The teachers exude kindness and challenge children to learn through play. The community of families is one of which I am proud to be a part. The principles and people of LCP will be a part of my life far beyond the years my children attend preschool.

Loomis Community Preschool lets kids be kids--exploring, playing, learning and interacting. It is an amazing experience to volunteer at this coop-based school and get to know other families and the children your kids go to school with very well and make life-long friends! The teachers are awesome, experienced, and fun!

We loved this school! Two of our children went to preschool here and our third will be going back in the fall. They have a wonderful shaded playground, with a sandbox, track for the trikes, swings and playhouse. The kids are encouraged to learn through playing and exploring, with the gentle encouragement from their teachers and parents working in the classroom. Each class is like it's own small family - MUCH different than our experience with the City of Rocklin Preschool!
