Founded in 1981 by a group of dedicated families, Inman Park Cooperative Preschool, otherwise known as IPCP, is cooperative preschool serving the needs of it’s community through tradition, imagination and lots of hard work.

IPCP is based in the cooperative structure in which parents are encouraged to get involved in their children’s early education- both in the classroom and out. We believe that the presence of parents in the classroom is a gift that we are able to give our children and that through parents volunteering their time, a rare sort of community and family is created and nurtured within our school’s walls.

IPCP’s curriculum is designed around the Creative Curriculum in which children learn through play. This philosophy is found both indoors and outdoors- in our beloved Outdoor Classrooms. With the belief that children should not be kept indoors, everyday children get to spend time exploring nature and experiencing a variety of hands-on learning adventures.
