Gorham Cooperative Preschool, or GCP is an independent, non-profit organization serving children ages 3-5 from Gorham, Maine and the surrounding communities. Our purpose is to foster, stimulate and encourage each child's development emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually in an environment where their ideas and interests are valued.
Every day we gather together on our oval rug and hang our names on the attendance board, reveal the share item, check the calendar, sing songs, play games and discuss small group activities. Children are given ample time to choose their own materials and activities. We believe that time spent playing is not just fun but also promotes growth, development and learning.

GCP's philosophy is to provide developmentally appropriate activities that nurture the whole child through a play-based curriculum. Skills that help children adjust to the structured school environment are also introduced. Learning is a natural and ongoing phenomenon which emerges as we interact and respond to our environment.
The unique nature of a cooperative preschool allows parents to develop relationships with the teachers, students, and one another. Working together to provide the best possible school environment is a shared goal. Participate as Parent Helper on assigned day or choose to pay an Opt-Out fee as part of tuition (See below for more information).
At Gorham Cooperative Preschool, we believe it is our responsibility to provide multifaceted opportunities for preschoolers to explore, experiment and grow in a safe, nurturing and age appropriate arena. Providing an environment where children can be active learners, make decision, accept responsibility for their actions & understand limits.
