About PHCC
Perry Hall Children’s Center is a co-op preschool located in Perry Hall, MD, close to the intersection of Belair Road and Chapel Road.  We are conveniently located within 5 miles of 695.
Co-Op
A cooperative preschool is maintained by the parents/guardians of the children enrolled. Â Parents take turns assisting teachers in the classroom, volunteering for one of the many necessary jobs (which may be in or out of the classroom)Â and sharing in the business operations of the school, such as fundraising.
The cooperative philosophy is based on parent involvement while providing developmentally appropriate programs.
At Perry Hall Children’s Center, parents participate in their child’s classroom monthly (usually 1 to 2 times a month, depending on class sizes), attend parent education events, and assist in the running of the school by volunteering for one of many necessary jobs.
Our History
Perry Hall Children’s Center was founded by a group of parents who recognized the importance of parental involvement in the education of young children.  We are located at Saint Michael’s Lutheran Church.
Since 1968, we have served families who had a special desire to share in their child’s first school experience.  We believe the efforts, individual talents , and the direct involvement of the parents during the school day make for a unique educational endeavor.
Because we are a cooperative preschool, the administrative responsibilities of the school belong to the Board of Directors.
Philosophy
The mission of the Perry Hall Children’s Center is to provide a place where children may grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, creatively, physically, mentally and socially through organized activities as directed by the teachers.
The school offers developmentally appropriate programs in a nurturing, loving, safe and stimulating environment, in which parental involvement enriches the learning process.
Class Size
In order to promote individualized attention for each student, our class sizes are:
- Limited to 14 students for the 3 year old class
- Limited to 18 students for the 4 year old class
- Each class is staffed by a lead teacher and two co-op parents
Classes meeting for the morning session from 9 – 11:30 am or the afternoon session from 12:30 – 3:00 pm.
