Hear What Parents Have To Say...
"I absolutely fell in love with Central."
When I was looking for a preschool for my first child, I looked at several area programs. I absolutely fell in love with Central, and my boys thrived there and were more than prepared for kindergarten. During my time as a preschool parent, I was offered a teaching position at Central and I did not even hesitate. I wanted to help give other parents the same wonderful experience that my kids had. There is no better place to send your child in the Towson/North Baltimore area!

"Sandy is wonderful and clearly passionate about providing an enriching environment for the kids."
My son is 3 and is enrolled in the 3 day a week 3's class. This was his first exposure to a group/social environment since he wasn't in daycare and was also a COVID baby (limited social exposure). He was definitely nervous and timid at first but after the first week he quickly adjusted and has grown to LOVE going to school. He adores his teachers and comes home each week with a bag full of crafts they've done that week. The teachers clearly love the kids and they send pictures and a newsletter at the end of each week. They also have a science and music teacher that takes them to do related activities every week and it's one of my son's favorite parts; love that they do that. The director, Sandy is wonderful and clearly passionate about providing an enriching environment for the kids. I'd recommend the school wholeheartedly!

"The space is fantastic."
In the Towson area there are plenty of really fantastic preschool options. I toured many of them before deciding to send my children to Central. There are a few things that really set Central apart for us: The space is fantastic. Sometimes preschools can feel like an afterthought in a space. Not here. The rooms are designed for a preschool to include bathrooms in each classroom and there is a fantastic indoor play space the children use on rainy days. The enrollment at Central is also a huge plus. The program is large enough to be robust but small enough that you realize everyone knows your child’s name and you know all the teachers and staff. And I have always, always felt that my children were treated with respect by teachers and staff who genuinely cared about them. I think my son summed up his experience well. He started his first year here with tears and ended the year by telling me the summer would be boring without Central. ❤️

"What a wonderful place to send our kids to preschool!"
What a wonderful place to send our kids to preschool! All 3 of our boys have gone here and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Only one has entered kindergarten and he was well prepared both academically and socially. Keep up the good work!

"We LOVE Central Preschool! "
We LOVE Central Preschool! Our daughter attended first; she had fantastic teachers and made great memories. Three years later and our son is attending with different teachers who are also out of this world! He can't wait to go to school each day. Mrs. Pilotte really cares about the entire community including teachers, parents and children. You can't go wrong with CPCP!

"My daughter has grown so much since attending Central."
My daughter has grown so much since attending Central. After COVID, dropping her off anywhere seemed scary for both of us! And drop-offs definitely started rocky, but by the end of the school year she was racing to get into class and bummed when she didn't have school on the weekends! The teachers take the time to understand your child and what he/she needs. They are open and honest with feedback, always willing to talk about the day, and truly strive to connect with not only the children but also the parents. The administration is quick to respond and communicate often -- plus just lovely people! I'm excited for my son to begin his Central journey this fall.

"I look forward to bringing my daughter here when she is old enough to attend!"
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. My son attended preschool here for two years and we were ecstatic with the level of care, love, and attention he received. I was worried he would be anxious about his first school experience, but he loved Central so much, never once did he hesitate to bound into the classroom at drop-off, barely giving me a backwards glance on his way in--and he begged to do lunch bunch (extended day) as often as possible. I look forward to bringing my daughter here when she is old enough to attend!

"I'm proud to send my kids there and they LOVE school!"
Central Preschool stands out for its loving, dedicated staff and excellent curriculum. If you don't think curriculum matters for early education, think again. The focus on what children can already do, and how to build from there each individual skills, is truly the best. I'm proud to send my kids there and they LOVE school!

"What a gift this school has been to my boys!"
What a gift this school has been to my boys! We are thankful for the loving and nurturing teachers they've had, the opportunities given to explore various arts and the many ways the staff has creatively engaged my kids over the last many years. It has been formative in their emotional, intellectual and social growth.

"The teachers know our daughters so well"
This year was our first experience with preschool for our daughters and have been so impressed with the program! The teachers know our daughters so well and provide so many different opportunities for them to grow and shine. The girls ask every morning if it’s a school day and are disappointed when it’s the weekend. We’re so thankful for Central!!

We LOVE central. My girls both go there this year. It’s their first time being in school and they were nervous to leave me at first.

"I highly recommend this place!"
Central Preschool is AMAZING! It was my daughter's first official preschool. When she first cried from separation anxiety and language barrier, all the teachers understood her and guided her so well. I can't thank enough how everyone was there to help her. All the teachers are loving and kind. I highly recommend this place!

"We love Central Pres!"
All of the teachers have been warm, patient and totally committed to teaching each child at their level and getting them ready for Kindergarten, and then some! We sing music class songs all the time and in art class they study different artists/genres/styles and do related projects. We are so happy that we chose CPCP as the foundation for our girls' schooling.

"I knew exactly where I wanted her to go!"
We were too late in signing up our 3yo for preschool last year... after interviewing countless Preschools in and around 21212, I knew exactly where I wanted her to go! The wait was more than worth it! Central Preschool exceeds all of our expectations. Every teacher opens their heart and arms to our children. I def recommend signing up for Lunch Bunch!

"We definitely recommend CPC preschool!"
We consider ourselves fortunate to have found this school in Towson for our two little boys coming from out of state. We knew the preschool was accredited and had good reviews but weren’t sure how they’d like it. Both love their teachers and the youngest has actually cried because he can’t go everyday like his older brother does.

"AMAZING preschool!!"
AMAZING preschool!! The environment is incredibly nurturing and I'm always amazed at what my daughter learns in just 3 hours a day. One of the best decisions I have ever made was to send my daughter to this school. I can't think of a single negative thing to say.

"The teachers and staff are caring!"
We have loved our experience so far at Central! The teachers and staff are caring and compassionate, the curriculum incorporates plenty of learning through fun, and the specials of art and music are top notch (my two-year old learning about Warhol and Mondrian!). I can't wait until my youngest is ready to join the CPS crew.
