A community outdoor school in Takoma Park, Maryland
Equity in nature
At Takoma Park Cooperative Nursery School, a central piece of our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion is equity in urban nature through play- and place-based learning experiences.
Our community outdoor school focuses on nature-based learning for all children and their families. We hope to become an integral part of the Long Branch neighborhood by being a good neighbor while celebrating the outdoors, connecting children to sky, grass, and tree, all while fostering a shared space for growth and community enrichment.
